Questions and Lies Lyrics

At first, complete trust
Submerged me and made me feel
Like "I'm flyin'"
But this time
Don't lie

I never wanted you to be the one I hate
I guess you're the same as the rest
I never wanted you to be the one I hate
I guess I'm what you'd expect

Sometimes we fall
Face first
Into these games
Expectation, no wrong
And it hurts
But who admits to blame?

I never wanted you to be the one I hate
I guess you're the same as the rest
I never wanted you to be the one I hate
I guess I'm what you'd expect

You
Never gave a fuck about
Anyone about your fucking self
You never cared
A fuck about yourself
Lie to yourself
Lie to your face
You keep lying
And once you cared...

Blowing out
Blowing out birthday candles
In this empty room
Blowing out
Blowing out birthday candles
In this empty room

I never wanted you to be the one I hate
I guess you're the same as the rest
I never wanted you to be the one I hate
I guess I'm what you'd expect
I never wanted you to be the one I hate...

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.

To me, this is about a parent who is too self-absorbed to be involved with their child. In stead of acknowledging their own mistakes and short-comings, they blame the child. Hence, the child is left to deal with the guilt and pain of having an absent parent.
