00:00This one slaps.
00:01I love this one.
00:02I want to be moving to it.
00:05It sounds sick.
00:12I Lied You Lied is just a song about an unserious relationship that's just not meant to be.
00:34I feel like it's kind of self-explanatory, well it's not, but I'm literally talking to someone
00:39and that someone doesn't want to let me go and let me get back outside, literally.
00:45I don't want to be with you anymore, just let me do my thing.
01:04This isn't working, it's not been working for three weeks, we've been arguing.
01:07When I say the highs aren't high enough for me, it's not good enough.
01:11The lows are not outweighing, not that they should outweigh the highs, but it's not enough.
01:15I need to get out of here.
01:34I mean the lies, there aren't loads of lies.
01:37It was just kind of like two people just chatting shit and not being honest with each other and
01:41how they feel in the relationship.
01:42And my thing was never really had a choice with me because as much as I hold onto something
01:48and I want to see the best in people and fight for something and keep going even though it's
01:52not right, when I know I've had enough, I'm going.
02:12Did you know when someone's not good for you but you don't know that or you do know that
02:18but you're just not using this bit of your brain?
02:22So when you're so caught up, when you've had enough, I can't do this anymore, I've got to go.
02:45Yeah, what does it take to figure someone out?
02:47Years, patience, conversations, just taking the time.
02:51This song I guess wasn't really taking the time.
02:54Also this song's just confusing because it's a confusing situation and I kind of wanted that.
02:58That's quite apparent in the lyrics.
03:35It's just confusing.
03:39You said you love your hair but you're in front of me.
03:41What do you want?
03:41I don't even think you know what you want.
03:43I never do.
04:09It's going around in circles.
04:10It's kind of, that's what I feel like that sounds like just wanted and wanted to create.
04:14just going back, the back and forth, I think this song is extremely back and forth, nothing's
04:19clear, we're going around in circles, whatever I say, you say, we don't know, I lied, you
04:23lied, who knows the truth.
04:27I'm already out there outside, my music's outside, so am I.
