Lie
"The Soundtrack of Your Life"  | Day 6
"Lie"
by Sasha Sloan
Full Lyrics ▼
Don't sleep on the couch again, even though you took it for the weekend
Kiss me like you wanna stay, even though you're thinking about leaving
Please just fake it, pretend to look when I'm naked
Don't be honest, promise me that you want this
Say you're lucky, say you're lucky to love me like you used to
Even if it isn't true
I want you to lie, lie right to my face
Want you to put your hands on my waist
Can we just dance till the skies are white?
'Cause I really can't get my heart broken tonight
I want to you to show me there's a future here, even if you've never really seen it
Tell me when you close your eyes I'm all you see, even if you don't dream it
Please just fake it, pretend to look when I'm naked
Don't be honest, promise me that you want this
Say you're lucky, say you're lucky to love me like you used to
Even if it isn't true
I want you to lie, lie right to my face
Want you to put your hands on my waist
Can we just dance till the skies are white?
'Cause I really can't get my heart broken tonight
I want you to
Touch me like you did in the beginning
Baby, just give me another day
Touch me like there isn't something missing
'Cause even if you don't stay
I want you to lie, lie right to my face
Want you to put your hands on my waist
Can we just dance till the skies are white?
'Cause I really can't get my heart broken tonight
I want you to lie, lie right to my face
Want you to put your hands on my waist
Can we just dance till the skies are white?
'Cause I really can't get my heart broken tonight
I want you to
Touch me like you did in the beginning
Baby, just give me another day
Touch me like there isn't something missing
'Cause even if you don't stay
I want you to lie
I want you to lie
This might be one of the most heartbreaking songs I've heard recently (except the ones that remind me of my mom). The lyrics are so melancholy and yet they're mixed with a somewhat uptempo beat and the quality of her voice is haunting. It's a pretty powerful mix. I've been listening to quite a few songs by Sasha Sloan lately and I'm really impressed with the quality of her music.
There's also a Nashville singer-songwriter named Tasji Bachman who does a great cover of this song, and there's a live version that Sasha Sloan does for (I think) Jimmy Fallon's late night show where her voice sounds damn-near studio quality. It was really impressive that she was able to replicate a studio sound to her voice during a live performance.
