These Lies Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
I'm not gonna lie to you anymore
After these lies, then no more
I never really loved you at all
So just walk away and don't ever call
Your kiss, it never brought me to my knees
I didn't ache for you till my heart would cease
And time, it never slowed down over us
When you were here with me, it was never thus
[Chorus]
Ooh, and my hand never dials up your number
And it's not like I want you to wonder
If I'm lost and I'm thinking of you
'Cause yes, I am fine and I'm finally clearer
To understand what it is to be nearer
And that love is just pain in reverse
And all these lies are mine
And they're the only thing that's fine
And the only way I'll wear this for now
'Cause when we meet again
You won't see it in me then
'Cause I've buried it in all that you're not
[Verse 2]
And so all I've got are lies for you even now
They're all carved in me, in the dust somehow
So when I say I never felt the garden burst into life
When I looked at you, well, it must be true
'Cause I've told myself a million times who you weren't
So I can finally forget who you were
'Cause if who you are is everything and I missed it
How could I live now like some counterfeit?
[Chorus]
Ooh, and my hand never dials up your number
And it's not like I want you to wonder
If I'm lost and I'm thinking of you
'Cause, yes, I am fine and I'm finally clearer
To understand what it is to be nearer
And that love is just pain in reverse
And all these lies are mine
And they're the only thing that's fine
And the only way I'll wear this for now
And when we met again
You won't see it in me then
'Cause I've buried it in all that you're not
[Outro]
I'm not gonna lie to you anymore
After these lies, then no more
[Verse 1: Snow Patrol]
In this verse, the singer expresses a decisive break from dishonesty and a failed relationship. The lines convey a sense of relief and clarity as the singer admits to a lack of genuine emotion and connection. The imagery of not being moved by a kiss and time not slowing down illustrates the emotional detachment and realization that the relationship was never as meaningful as it seemed.
[Chorus: Snow Patrol]
The chorus underscores a newfound clarity and acceptance of the situation. The singer emphasizes that there is no longing or regret for the past relationship. By acknowledging that love is "pain in reverse," the singer reflects on how past deceptions have led to a clearer understanding of themselves. The repeated assertion of burying the past "in all that you're not" indicates a deliberate effort to move on and leave behind the remnants of the relationship.
[Verse 2: Snow Patrol]
This verse continues the theme of confronting and accepting the past. The singer reveals that the lies they told themselves were a way to cope with and eventually forget the past relationship. The reference to not feeling the garden burst into life symbolizes a lack of genuine emotional experience. By claiming to have told themselves who the other person wasn’t, the singer acknowledges the role these deceptions played in helping them move forward.
[Chorus: Snow Patrol]
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the sense of closure and the singer’s ability to move on. The emphasis on not reaching out and being clear-headed about the past shows a strong resolve to let go of the previous relationship. The phrase "love is just pain in reverse" captures the idea that the process of moving on involves confronting and understanding past hurts.
[Outro: Snow Patrol]
The outro reaffirms the singer's commitment to honesty and the decision to stop lying about their feelings. It signifies the finality of their resolution to move on and not revisit the past deceptions. The repetition of "no more" reinforces the resolve to embrace a new phase free from the falsehoods of the past.
