about

Here's a stripped-down, piano and vocal version of my tune If She Hadn't Lied. I really love it because it shows a totally different, quite emotional, side to the original track. This song is pretty much as biographical as it gets so it means quite a bit to me.

Recorded this version in one afternoon with my friend Arun Chaturvedi (who also co-wrote and produced tracks on my Don't Forget to Breathe EP!) when I was in Toronto for Christmas in 2019.

lyrics

I was amazed when you said you didnʼt have somebody
Iʼd been a little lonely lately too
You told me that it ended pretty badly
I want so badly to be good to you

Yesterday, yesterday is gone
And all of it has lead to this love

If she hadnʼt lied to you
You never wouldʼve trusted me
I could have missed the chance to love you so true
If she hadnʼt lied to you
If she hadnʼt lied to you

I canʼt stand to imagine how she made you suffer
A heart like yours should never have to hurt
If Iʼm honest Iʼm so grateful that she fucked up
Now I get to treat you the way that you deserve

Yesterday, yesterday is gone
And all of it has lead to this love

If she hadnʼt lied to you
You never wouldʼve trusted me
I could have missed the chance to love you so true
If she hadnʼt lied to you
If she hadnʼt lied to you
If she hadnʼt lied to you

Itʼs clear later on
All the things that seemed to go so wrong
Were for the better all along

Ooo-ooo if she hadnʼt lied to you
Ooo-ooo if she hadnʼt lied to you

If she hadnʼt lied to you
You never wouldʼve trusted me
I could have missed the chance to love you so true
If she hadnʼt lied to you
If she hadnʼt lied to you
If she hadnʼt lied to you
