Untrue Lyrics

Girlfriend...

To the way I feel inside
And it's all because you lied
And it's all because you lied
And it's all because you lied
And it's all because you lied

To the way I feel inside
And it's all because you lied

To the way I feel inside
And it's all because you lied
And it's all because you lied
And it's all because you lied
And it's all because you lied

To the way I feel inside
And it's all because you lied
To the way I feel inside
And it's all because you lied

Girlfriend...

We could be friends
Away from my heart

Away from my heart
We could be friends

To the way I feel inside
And it's all because you lied
And it's all because you lied
And it's all because you lied
And it's all because you lied

To the way I feel inside
And it's all because you lied

Girlfriend...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The other lyrics are from Beyonce - Resentment....I read in an interview that "Untrue" was sort of like the opposite of his "Unite" tune...

This is from Kode9's interviw with Burial before "Untrue" dropped in '07..

"9: Why is the album called Untrue?

Burial: When you are not acting like yourself . . .that's an everyday thing for everyone, but it can be a bit sinister . . .It's like the opposite of Unite. "
