about

Lie to You is a ballad featuring piano and vocals, recorded in Siena's home studio in the 19th Ward in Rochester.

Some songs simply emerge from deep within as fully-formed, undeniable truths. This song is one of those. Recorded in semi-darkness at Siena’s Steinway studio grand, “Lie to You” encapsulates the pain of being with somebody you know is wrong for you. This song makes you feel the things you’ve been avoiding.

lyrics

I like the longing,
the part where I'm sad.
I like the warm, achy feeling
from knowing that nothing will last.
 
I like the silence
the things we don't say
I like the fine, silky feeling
of something slipping away
 
I like the sound of you saying goodbye
and the seamless transition from laughing to crying
and the way I lie to you
I like that too
 
I like to wake up
from a dream so familiar
that it chases me down in the light
like the darkness I hold in my chest
 
I like the dream when it fades in the light
and the seamless transition from laughing to crying
and the way I hide from you
I like that too
 
I like the sound of you saying goodbye
and the seamless transition from living to dying 
and the way I lie to you
I like that too
I like that too
