The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Lie to the Truth" by the artist "Young Veins, The"

In The Young Veins' song "Lie to the Truth," the lyrical protagonist narrates a painful end to a relationship where lies and self-deception have become ways to cope with heartache.

At the beginning of the relationship, the protagonist was blinded by love, but over time "doubts" arose in his beloved. The reason is her unrequited feelings for another person ("you were still in love with him"). The phrase "it took so long to finally see what I... What I was doing wrong" suggests that the protagonist did not notice or did not want to notice the problem in the relationship for a long time, justifying his beloved's behavior.

Realizing the truth, the protagonist chooses to "lie to the truth" - to suppress his true feelings and pretend that everything is fine. He tries to convince himself that he can be happy with her, despite her feelings for another. The phrase "My love once said: 'The best part of you was me'" sounds like bitter irony - the protagonist understands that his beloved used him to forget her previous love.

The break is inevitable, and both are hurt. In the lines "I know, I broke your heart, Mine is broken too. Now that we're even, Why are we both sad?" the protagonist seeks an answer to the question - why were these relationships if they brought only pain?

At the end of the song, the protagonist comes to the conclusion that "he's had enough." He is tired of lying and decides to "keep his distance" from his ex-lover. By accusing her of lying ("you lied to it too"), the protagonist tries to justify his own self-deception.

"Lie to the Truth" is a story of unhappy love, self-deception, and the difficult path to healing after a painful breakup.
