Story Behind The Song

I wrote this while going through a difficult time in a relationship when I was trying to convince myself I felt differently on the outside than I did in my heart.

Lyrics

I'm No Good At Lying-J. Pike-2011

I could say that I don't think of you, that I've got better things to do
Than sit around and hope someday you'll come back through that door

I could say that I don't speak your name, at least a hundred times a day
That I'm finally letting go cause I don't love you anymore

That I'm not a broken hearted fool who feels like dyin'
But I'm no good at lying, I'm no good at lyin'

I could say that I don't miss your laugh or the way you used to kiss my back
That you never took my breath away just by being you

I could say I'm finally moving on that my love for you is dead and gone
And that I forgot your name because I've found somebody new

I tell myself that ever since you left I ain't been cryin'
But I'm no good at lying, I'm no good at lyin'

I always thought that I'd be be all right without your love
But now you're gone I realize the truth hurts so much

I could say that I don't miss your kiss and the taste that you left on my lips
Wasn't like a drug I can't resist and I don't need no more

And when it comes to winning back your love, I could tell you I'll stop trying
But I'm no good at lying, I'm no good at lyin'
