Some lies don't sound like lies when they're spoken.
They sound like promises.
Lies in the Dark was inspired by the heartbreak of believing in a future that someone never truly intended to build. It's about loving someone who says all the right things, only to discover that their actions tell a very different story.
The title carries a double meaning. It's about the lies we hear while lying together in the dark—the promises, the plans, the declarations of love that feel completely real in the moment. But it's also about the secrets kept in the shadows. The betrayal. The infidelity. The truths that remain hidden until they can no longer be denied.
At its heart, this song isn't just about being cheated on. It's about grieving the version of the relationship you believed existed. The hardest part of betrayal is often realizing that you weren't just losing a person—you were losing the future you thought the two of you were building together.
Sometimes the darkest part isn't discovering the lie.
It's realizing how deeply you wanted it to be true.
