About This Track

‘Lies’ by McFly is a pop track from the album ‘radio:ACTIVE’, released in 2008. The lyrics take a confrontational stance towards deception, with the singer warning that someone’s “hurricane” of falsehoods is dangerous, urging them to move on from blame. The imagery leans heavily into threat and self-defence, using comparisons like words as projectiles and blame as an attack, before the verse breaks off mid-thought with the line about filling a book with what they know.

"Lies" is a single by McFly, from the album radio:ACTIVE, released 19th July 2008. The track is 3:45 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about McFly.

Lyrics

Lies

Better run for cover
You're a hurricane full of lies
And the way you're heading
No one's getting out alive
So do us all a favor
Would you find somebody else to blame
'Cause your words are like bullets and I'm the way your weapons aim

I guess I could fill a book with things that I don't know about you, baby
You're not misunderstood but you got, you got to go

(Lies)
Living in a fantasy (lies)
Don't even know reality (lies)
When you start talking, I start walking (lies)
Lies, lies, lies
Don't even wanna know the truth (lies)
The devil has his eye on you, girl (lies)
When you start talking, I start walking (lies)
Lies, lies, lies
Yeah, yeah

So don't forget your seatbelt
Don't you think of picking up the phone
Better say your prayers 'cause you're never gonna make it home
Did you miss the stop sign
That last decision was your last
'Cause you can't come back once you're lying in the broken glass

And I hope you get to hear me say
Who gets the last laugh now

(Lies)
Living in a fantasy (lies)
Don't even know reality (lies)
When you start talking, I start walking (lies)
Lies, lies, lies
Don't even wanna know the truth (lies)
The devil has his eye on you, girl (lies)
When you start talking, I start walking (lies)
Lies, lies, lies

No more excuses, no more running
Only God can save you now (God can save you now)
'Cause I know the truth is time is running out

And I'm just one drink away
And I'm back in Wonderland like it was yesterday
And I hope you get to hear me say
Who gets the last, who gets the last
Who gets the last laugh now?

(Lies)
Living in a fantasy (lies)
Don't even know reality (lies)
When you start talking, I start walking (lies)
Lies, lies, lies
Don't even wanna know the truth (lies)
The devil has his eye on you, girl (lies)
When you start talking, I start walking (lies)
Lies, lies, lies

Woah-oh-oh
Lies, lies, lies
Woah-oh-oh
Lies, lies, lies
Woah-oh-oh
Lies, lies, lies
Yeah
Lies, lies, lies
