Matt Maltese - Even If It's A Lie Lyrics






I was growing younger day by day, there was love and it was all arranged
And I held you with the wandering eye
Now I know the girl I shoulda known, now I feel the love I should've shown
And I pull you in but you push me out

And I, know, you don't love me so but please say it once before I go

I know that you can feel me
Tell me that you don't love me
But say it one more time
I'm going darling, I'll step lightly
Live on as if you still love me
Just say it one more time
Even if it's a lie, even if it's a lie

Colours in the dress you used to wear
The way that you'd put up your golden hair
But I'll turn the lights down and leave
All the ways that I could say it now
You're the girl to push away my doubt
But it's too late and were too young to know

And I, know, you don't love me so but please say it once before I go

I know that you can feel me
Tell me that you don't love me
But say it one more time
I'm going darling, I'll step lightly
Live on as if you still love me
Just say it one more time

I know that she can feel me
Tell me that you don't love me
But say it one more time
I'm going darling, I'll step lightly
Live on as if still still love me
Just say it one more time
Even if it's a lie, even if it's a lie
Even if it's a lie, even if it's a lie

    My ex-boyfriend sent this song to me, and told me it’s helped him to heal. I listened and cried. It’s a beautiful song that unfortunately rings true and makes me feel so guilty for breaking his heart

  14. K.... B....

    Underrated artist

  15. N.... &....

    revisiting songs i used to always listen to makes my heart feel a certain way

  18. i.... w....

    this song hit harder than my dad

  19. M.... R....

    How does this song not have more of a following? It's amazing. Profound. Ever so powerful. I keep coming back to it and I first heard it about two thirds through 2016. It's an amazing piece of music.

    Kudos to you Matt for this work of art.

  28. J.... I....

    Some person named Margie sent me

  29. S.... K....

    I found out about this song about a year ago I loved it. I thought it was just a phase and I'd start liking another song and forget about it soon but no. I still love it it's my favourite song.it's that good

  30. D.... B....

    This guy should be monstrously famous.

  31. c.... b....

    Yesterday I've heard this song for the first time - at Tom's Rosenthal concert in Warsaw. Matt, you are incredible! You are my mood 😁

  32. s.... a....

    Man...you gave me the chills...

  33. N.... M....

    Most appreciated song ever.👍

  34. T.... O....

    I'm not hating on Dodie or anything, but this just sounds more beautiful. It feels like a different song when he sings it.

  35. J.... M....

    baffling

  36. D.... W....

    I dedicate this song to my best friend, the girl that I love, but doesn't love me back...

  37. A.... R....

    Ur trust is so meaning 4me #minico even if its lie, it doesnt matter just let me to make it right 🙏🏽

  38. G.... M....

    that head bob gives me life

  39. L.... A....

    Thank you for helping me go through some tough times with this song.

  40. M.... ....

    This has melted and entwined itself with my heart inexorably... i don't think i can even describe just how insanely emotional this song makes me, like wistful, hopeful, devastated and so vulnerable at the same time. Thank you Matt

  41. W.... T....

    wow.. this song is sad

  42. E.... R....

    I think I’m the only one who doesn’t like that dodie chick. I think her music is basic. Nothing special. Matt on the other hand, a beautiful angel.

  43. C.... S....

    This is so amazing!

  44. M.... C....

    Breaks my heart.

  45. b.... m....

    this is one of my favourite somgs ever I’d say because it just touches me on a different level. Like most people, I’m here from dodie but I just love this so much. thank you matt <3

  46. s.... s....

    I love dodie, but I kinda like this version better. I think it's just bc how powerful his vocals sound and the piano is probably my favorite instrument

  47. h.... a....

    *dodies cover has 1.8m views*
    *matts original song has less than 600k views*
    sad..

  48. C.... R....

    Dodie didn’t send me here. The Lemon Twigs sent me here. Beat that, all of you punks!

  49. T.... ....

    Porqueeee no es tan conocida

  50. M.... ....

    Don’t know who dodie is lmao I’m just here cuz I love music

  51. S.... ....

    ive been playing tetris, listening to this and crying for like three whole hours

  52. P.... D....

    Tunescribers has created sheet music for this, you can find it here: http://www.tunescribers.com/2348/more-work-samples/even-if-its-a-lie

  53. A.... T....

    looks like sodapoppin-- amazing song though

  54. h.... a....

    much love for dodie but no one cares if she 'sent' you here.
    thank, v much

  55. d.... g....

    What's worse, knowing you still love each other but can't be together, or knowing the other fell out of love?

  56. R.... g....

    Marco💔😭

  57. S.... D....

    I used to listen to this song on repeat and just cry, feeling the words and music. I haven’t heard it in a while. It’s nice to come back after so long.

  58. L.... C....

    I was growing younger day by day, there was love and it was all arranged
    And I held you with the wandering eye
    Now I know the girl I shoulda known, now I feel the love I should've shown
    And I pull you in but you push me out

    [Pre-Chorus]
    And I, know, you don't love me so but please say it once before I go

    [Chorus]
    I know that you can feel me
    Tell me that you don't love me
    But say it one more time
    I'm going darling, I'll step lightly
    Live on as if you still love me
    Just say it one more time
    Even if it's a lie, even if it's a lie

    [Verse 2]
    Colours in the dress you used to wear
    The way that you'd put up your golden hair
    But I'll turn the lights down and leave
    All the ways that I could say it now
    You're the girl to push away my doubt
    But it's too late and were too young to know

    Pre-Chorus]
    And I, know, you don't love me so but please say it once before I go

    [Chorus]
    I know that you can feel me
    Tell me that you don't love me
    But say it one more time
    I'm going darling, I'll step lightly
    Live on as if you still love me
    Just say it one more time

    [Instrumental]
    Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh
    Oooooooooohhhhhhh ohhhhh oooooooh ohhh

    [Chorus]
    I know that she can feel me
    Tell me that you don't love me
    But say it one more time
    I'm going darling, I'll step lightly
    Live on as if still still love me
    Just say it one more time
    Even if it's a lie, even if it's a lie
    Even if it's a lie, even if it's a lie

  59. a.... s....

    The person I've loved for years is in love with someone else and I see how well he treats her everyday, it hurts soo soo much but there's only one thing I can do, smile through the pain. I wish I could go blind.

    currently crying because this song holds too many memories that I've tried to forget but it's such an amazing song

  78. E.... G....

    Say, that piano is pretty





    KAWAI

  79. A.... K....

    I only just realized that many of the views come from Dodie covering it, as when I searched up covers they were all ukeleles. Came across this song a year after it was released, and have been loving it since. It's meaning to me has changed drastically over the years, and I love it for that.

  80. R.... A....

    ive learnt this on ukelele since thats the only instrument i own... the chords are d a bm g if you were wondering, you can make it fancy with bbm and em during the chorus and the little bits before the chorus aswell. it sound really beatiful with just two downstrokes per chord. also some good artists like matt are seafret and amber run. go check them out once youve liked and subscribed to matt because he deserves everything.

  81. x.... t....

    You're all here from Dodie lmao we get it.

  82. R.... A....

    I love Dodie forever but I prefer this tbh
