London Don't Lie

by Tatiana DeMaria

on London Don't Lie (2018)

If there's poison in this cup
She still offers it up
Then she tells me it's your life
And darling it's your luck
Ain't so desperate to be liked
Or to be loved
Ain't craved a validating mind
She don't need your love

London don't lie
London don't lie
London don't lie
Don't lie, no no

She don't dress the ugly truth
To make her white teeth shine
She don't lull me in a fire
And tell me I'll be fine
She pulls back the curtain clears the smoke and shows me
A mirror standing clear to see myself the way she sees

London don't lie
London don't lie
London don't lie
Don't lie, no no
London don't lie
Don't waste my high
London don't lie
No don't lie no no

She swallows the unsteady and spits you out
Grab at you already, destroy your clout
'Cos you're unsteady, you're a little unsteady
Little unsteady, you're a little unsteady

Won't tell you that she love you in all your light
She smells the fear on you dressed up to the nines
But you're unsteady, you're a little unsteady
Little unsteady, you're a little unsteady

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I've seen the smiling faces
Trading places, I just don't buy
I've tasted lust and fucked the words
The feigning wise impart
I've walked the earth in search of something I was looking for
Only to come home and find my heart beat in her arms

London don't lie
London don't lie
London don't lie
Don't lie, no no
London don't lie
Don't waste my high
London don't lie
No don't lie no no

She swallows the unsteady and spits you out
Grab at you already, destroy your clout
'Cos you're a...
You're a little unsteady steady
You're a little unsteady steady

Won't tell you that she loves you in all your light
She smells the fear on you dressed up to the nines
But you're a...
You're a little unsteady steady
You're a little unsteady
