SWEET LIKE A LIE

Lyrics

[Intro — whispered female vocal, soft piano, dreamy synth haze, distant heartbeat]

(whisper)
You know I shouldn't...
But I do...
Every time...

[Verse 1 — ultra-soft breathy vocal, minimal beat, warm sub bass]

You call when the moon is high,
I know that look in your eyes.
Say we're better off alone,
Then you pull me closer.

Your hands...
My skin...
That feeling...
Here we go again...

I tell myself
I won't fall...

Then you smile...

And I forget it all.

[Pre-Chorus — airy vocal layers, pulsing synth, tension slowly rising]

You taste like trouble...
Feel like heaven...

Every time I leave...

I want you again...

[BUILD — beat disappears, vocal echo grows]

Again...

Again...

Again...

[DROP — MASSIVE melodic dubstep, huge sub bass, soaring synths, chopped vocal hook]

SWEET LIKE A LIE!

(Oh-oh-oh!)

YOU KEEP ME UP ALL NIGHT!

SWEET LIKE A LIE!

I KNOW YOU'RE BAD FOR ME...

BUT YOU FEEL SO RIGHT!

(Oh-oh-oh!)

ONE MORE TIME...

ONE MORE TIME...

I CAN'T SAY GOODBYE!

[Post-Drop — addictive vocal chop over bouncing bass]

Sweet...
Sweet...
Sweet like a lie...

(Oh-oh...)

One more time...

[Verse 2 — beat pulls back, intimate vocal returns]

Your perfume on my pillowcase,
Still feels like you when you're away.
I delete your number every night,
Then memorize it by sunrise.

We don't talk about tomorrow,
We just disappear inside tonight.
Maybe we're a beautiful disaster,
Maybe that's why it feels so right.

I should leave...

I should run...

But your heartbeat...

Feels like home.

Pre-Chorus 2 — bigger harmonies

You taste like trouble...
Feel like heaven...

Every time I leave...

I want you again...

BUILD — silence between each phrase

Don't...

Let...

Me...

Go...

[FINAL DROP — enormous melodic dubstep / future bass climax]

SWEET LIKE A LIE!

YOU KEEP ME UP ALL NIGHT!

SWEET LIKE A LIE!

I KNOW YOU'RE BAD FOR ME...

BUT YOU FEEL SO RIGHT!

ONE MORE TIME!

ONE MORE NIGHT!

ONE MORE KISS!

ONE MORE HIGH!

(Massive vocal chop)

SWEET...

LIKE...

A...

LIE!

[Outro — piano and breathy vocal fading into reverb]

(whisper)
I know I shouldn't...

But I want you...

Every time...
