Love, You Lied

Intro

(oh-oh) Yeah, yeah

Turn the lights up, turn the truth up, ayy

Verse

Love, you a hustler in a velvet suit, ayy, yuh

Signed checks with a crooked pen, played the flute, huh

Sweet talk, sour tricks, powdered promises on mute

You sell me next-level feelings then you reboot, boom

Got receipts of every promise you misplaced (skrrt)

Left me talkin' to the ceiling 'cause you ghosted, misphrased

You name-dropped forever like it's a brand, a trademark

But forever folded quicker than a card in the dark

You a barista of illusions, servin' bitter with a smile

Pouring sugar on the poison, call it style, run wild

I used to feed the hunger; you turned it into theater

Spotlight on the drama, now I'm callin' you a cheater

You taught me how to kneel, then you taught me how to bail

You wrote the rulebook, then you burned the trail

Yeah, you slick with the delivery and soft with the say

But the lines never matched up when I read between the play

You a headline, I a footnote, cuttin' corners like a thief

Took my time, sold it back as artifice and grief

I gave you seasons, you sold me weather, fickle, faux

Now I'm movin' pieces on a board you thought you know

(Ayy) You noisy in the background like car alarms at two

I tuned you out, now I'm steady rewiring what's true

You a chorus with no verse — all chorus, no proof

I'm droppin' truth on repeat, and it's smooth, and it's ruth

Pre-chorus

You got a million ways to say my name and change the meaning

I keep my guard up, yeah, I read the seams, I'm leaning (leaning)

No more late-night scripts, no actors in my bed

I cut the stage lights, watch the pages that you read (watch 'em)

Chorus

Love, you lied (you lied), Love, you lied (you lied),

Love, you lied (you lied), Love, you lied (oh-oh)

I don't need your velvet lies, nah, I don't buy (I don't buy)

Love, you lied (you lied), Love, you lied (you lied),

Love, you lied (you lied), Love, you lied (yeah)

I'm done with glossy wraps around a hollow vibe (hollow vibe)

Verse

Back for round two, same villain, new piano, ha

I count the scars like lyrics, every bar is ammunition, ayy

You got the charm tax—pay in trust, collect in doubt

Played monopoly with feelings, you own every route

You sold nostalgia like a vintage brand new, counterfeit

Pulled the strings of who I was till I couldn't quit

You a thief of small moments, pick-pocket of my calm

Left me bargaining with silence, oh the con's so calm

I studied all your movements — patterns, pauses, ticks

You'd flip a kindness like a coin, then switch the mix

You whisper restitution but it's fog, it's glass

I see the shape of your repentance — short and fast

Tried to file complaint but there's no number to call

You vanish like an app update, crash before the fall

You promise constellations, hand me broken maps

I chart my own horizon — no maps, no traps

I used to want your logos on my chest, run and chase

Now I pa
