Tegan And Sara - Don't Believe The Things They Tell You (They Lie) Lyrics






The things I've almost told you
All the things I've thought about you
It takes all my strength to face you, to hold still
And when you give me your attention
Things get lost in translation, again
Tell you I don't love you at all, but I do love you

I don't want to be a liar, but I do it every day
I don't want to be so tired, but I can't sleep any way

Don't believe the things they tell you they lie
Don't believe the things they tell you, no

The thing my mother told me
Was that everyone would love me
But in the dark I feel so lonely, I'm numb
She said it with so much conviction
But I feel like something's missing, again
Oh, I don't love me at all, I don't love me

I don't want to be a liar, but I do it every day
I don't want to be so tired, but I can't sleep any way

Don't believe the things they tell you they lie
Don't believe the things they tell you, no

I'm a liar, no one believe me
I'm a liar, no one believe me
Don't believe the things they tell you
Don't believe the things they tell you
Don't believe the things I tell you, I lie
Don't believe the things I tell you, no

Tegan And Sara Don't Believe The Things They Tell You (They Lie) Comments
  1. J.... B....

    This is my favorite song on the album. It's the perfect fusion of modern Tegan and Sara fused with their older stuff. The Con and Sainthood are my favorite albums by them. But Love You to Death and Heartthrob are guilty pleasures to listen to. You wonderful ladies keep making magic!

  2. L.... S....

    I hate the sound/production of this song, but the concept definitely has some kind of The Con vibe.👌especially the outro.

  3. E.... D....

    This song is really great. I like it.

  4. J.... N....

    I'm here since 2009 and I plain to stay as long as tegan and sara exist.

  5. J.... ....

    The end... Woah boom.

  6. N.... M....

    Everybody lies ,everybody betrays, no one stays .

  7. E.... D....

    Why isn't this song their single?

  8. S.... ....

    Oh my gosh, this song!!😓

  9. D.... P....

    I'm in love with this entire album, it is so pure and reminds me of the first time my ex (we're still friends) showed me the con and I fell in love with Tegan's voice

  10. A.... O....

    I’m gay and unnoticed

  11. T.... B....

    Nice song 👌

  12. A.... B....

    I love Tegan

  13. D.... ....

    it took me a few listens to realise how damn relatable this song is ._.

  14. e.... i....

    LOOOOORD THIS IS MAKing me grove and shimmy recklessly

  15. S.... ....

    This one had to grow on me. (And I'm glad it did!) The new CD/Album is nothing short of amazing. While I've always been a fan of anything Tegan and Sara have released (including LOVE YOU TO DEATH), this body of work is definitely one of my favorites from the first to last tracks! I love that they've revisited old songs that they've written and found new arrangements to make them sounds modern. Also, the inclusion of guitars and actual drums back into the equation make everything sounds so pure and raw.

  16. t.... ....

    Daughter yuna vibes

  17. C.... t....

    The title actually creates a kind of Paradox. It implies we should also not trust the messenger. So even if we trusted the messenger, it could be that they are under duress and we actually should believe them.

  18. m.... ....

    don't believe the things they tell you......

  19. A.... ....

    I love the Erasure!!!!

  20. J.... C....

    This album is really shaping up to be great. Thank you, I feel so seen.

  21. L.... ....

    That guitar solo though 👌👌🔥

  22. l.... s....

    1:15 where their voices harmonize.. absolute CHILLS.. ☺️ just like the con.. Best song yet on this album! Just keeps getting better. Definitely Vibing

  23. A.... D....

    I'm hooked ugh love this song so much

  24. D.... G....

    *My fave's lyric videos are better than your fave's videos.*

  25. C.... d....

    Traduction française pour les petits fr qui passent par là :)


    Tout ce que j'ai failli te dire, toutes les choses que j'ai pensé à propos de toi
    Il me faut réunir toute ma force pour pouvoir t'affronter, pour faire face
    Et quand tu me donnes de l'attention, les choses se perdent dans la traduction, encore une fois
    Je t'ai dit que je ne t'aimais pas du tout, mais en fait je t'aime

    Je ne veux pas être une menteuse, mais je mens tous les jours
    Je ne veux pas être aussi fatiguée, mais je n'arrive pas à dormir de toute façon

    Ne crois pas ce qu'ils te disent, ils mentent
    Ne crois pas ce qu’ils te disent, non

    Ce que ma mère m'avait dit, c'était que tout le monde m'aimerait
    Mais dans l'obscurité je me sens si seule, je suis paralysée
    Elle m'avait dit ça avec tant de conviction, mais j’ai le sentiment qu’il manque quelque chose, encore une fois Oh, je ne m’aime pas du tout, je ne m’aime pas

    Je ne veux pas être une menteuse, mais je mens tous les jours
    Je ne veux pas être aussi fatiguée, mais je n'arrive pas à dormir de toute façon

    Ne crois pas ce qu'ils te disent, ils mentent
    Ne crois pas ce qu’ils te disent, non

    Je suis une menteuse, personne ne me croit
    Je suis une menteuse, personne ne me croit
    Ne crois pas ce qu’ils te disent, ne crois pas ce qu’ils te disent, ne crois pas ce que je te dis, je mens, ne crois pas ce que je te dis, non

  26. �.... ....

    Amazing! I just listen again and again. What a masterpiece ❤️ I can't wait the album, love you so much ❤️😊

  29. j.... m....

    The anthem for my highschool queer self (in denial).

  30. A.... L....

    This song hits me so hard. I can't wait for the album drop!! Thank you Tegan & Sara

  31. G.... ....

    And this is DEFINITELY a Tegan solo.

  32. J.... L....

    Hot damn this is good

  33. o.... ....

    This is like my teen years slapped me in the face. I love it, tegan and Sara still rock so hard (and still look 30 👀)

  34. L.... M....

    This is my favourite of the three new songs dropped so far. Sounds like a Sara song rather than a Tegan song. Love it either way.

  35. R.... C....

    This don't even compare to the con, fuck y'all talkin bout?

  36. s.... ....

    Such a great song, love it. And that guitar from 2:00 onwards is amazing. Song on repeat.

  37. F.... T....

    Great song! I would like to hear a dance version in the imagination of Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, Nicky Romero or Paul van Dyk. Love from Mexico!

  38. C.... M....

    This video is so creative ahhhh.... And the song feels close to heart too❤❤

  39. H.... B....

    Honestly I'm in love. And can't wait for the album! I'm always thinking that you can't be better, but then you're coming with the new project. :D Sending greetings from Poland!

  40. V.... T....

    one word: whoa

  41. T.... M....

    This song hit me so hard in the emotions. I was not expecting this.

  42. f.... ....

    Best song you’ve ever done!

  43. X.... ....

    Love this omg 😍💜

  44. G.... ....

    A+

    📓🖊🖤

  45. W.... D....

    I feel like this song is about my life.

  46. D.... ....

    She is a liar! i knew it.

  47. t.... c....

    i love this sound and i absolutely love the different lyric styles!!!

  48. C.... v....

    The whole song is very beautiful 💝 But the second part (starting from minute 2:00) sounds "🔥". I can’t get enough of it ☄️🎸🎸🎸

  49. M.... ....

    sounds like it belongs on 'The Con' album and I'm here for it

  50. V.... D....

    Awesome song😍

  51. B.... S....

    The first few singles they've released haven't impressed me at all, I didn't even try to listen to them a second time BUT THIS ONE SLAPS

  52. M.... M....

    Amazing and emotional! ❤️

  53. G.... R....

    Love you guys. That's all

    OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

  71. R.... ....

    This album is so great already! I’ve never been more excited for an album release 🥰

  72. K.... W....

    This album is gonna kill it. Which is great because I lost a little interest after the con. Re visiting their past has done them amazing favours. X

  73. P.... m....

    I'm so glad lyric videos exist so I know when I'm listening to a guitar solo. I'd never figure it out otherwise.

  74. m.... v....

  75. L.... R....

    Their lyric videos are always gReAt

  76. M.... V....

    you're literally all I'm giving to my ears this last 2 months, I can't wait to the full release you guys are awesome and I'm so anxious I wrote my first comment in YouTube ever.

  77. M.... C....

    "The thing my mother told me
    Was that everyone would love me
    But in the dark i feel so lonely
    I'm numb
    She said it with so much conviction
    But i feel like something missing
    Again
    Oh i don't love me at all
    I don't love me
    I don't want be a liar
    But i do it every day
    I don't want to be so tired
    But i can't sleep anyway"
    It's so sad and so true... I love you, thanks for this 😭😭❤❤❤

  78. C.... B....

    Happy Birthday girls 😘🎉

  79. C.... B....

    God, I love the bass drop to this song. And the lyric video i did not expect it to be blackout poetry (one of my favorites)

  80. L.... Y....

    that's f*cking good!!! i listened to it and it remember me when i was in high school too, that moment in your life when you are 15, 16 years old and you are still looking for what you are, what you like, the sexuality, the parties start to happen and maybe you are not inveted to any (like me haha), maybe it's the time you are going to meet some friends that you feel safe to talk about anything at that time, maybe the firts girlfriends, the struggle of being a teenager lesbian and having to deal with so much heterossexual people everyday

    that's a strange and familiar feeling i have when i listen to your song :) great job 💜

  81. T.... M....

    Every song you release from this album is amazing! They just blow me away at how good they are and Alex’s production is off the charts! You’re blowing me away with thIs album, can’t wait to hear the rest. Thank you and also Happy Birthday my lovelies!! P.s. Hope your blisters heal quickly Tegan. Xoxoxo Pp.s. THAT GUITAR SOLO!!!! 🔥

  97. M.... ....

    Love it! I’m so happy we have them using their guitars again, I’ve missed it the last couple albums. I wasn’t ready for that small guitar solo, it was simple but effective and worked well with the song. Don’t know about anyone else, but I feel this song could have had an extra minute or two. Can’t wait for the album to drop!
