This is a song about taking a stand against domestic violence. Nobody should have to hide their bruises from an abusive partner, parent, or other.
lyrics
i can’t lie anymore
since i met you that’s all i’ve had to do
i can’t lie anymore
i’m always having to make an excuse for you
i can’t lie anymore
my friends are seeing you in a different light
i can’t lie anymore
so they all know you’re wrong and they know i’m right
no more words is all i’ve got to say
i know the truth for you is very hard to take
you’re not the one i’m living for
i can’t lie anymore
i can’t lie anymore
long sleeves and makeup hide the bruises fine
i can’t lie anymore
this bruised heart is very hard to hide
i can’t lie anymore
you leave to cover up the things you do
i can’t lie anymore
i’m always having to make an excuse for you
no more words is all i’ve got to say
i know the truth for you is very hard to take
you’re not the one i’m living for
i can’t lie anymore
