Lies Lies Lies Lyrics – Morgan Wallen

[Chorus]
The chorus reveals the truth behind Wallen's assertions. He admits that these are all lies and that he's still deeply affected by the breakup. He confesses he's still a fool for his ex and would do anything for her. The phrase "downhill dive" illustrates his declining emotional state. He acknowledges that breaking habits and overcoming heartbreak is difficult, leading him to tell the same lies repeatedly.

[Verse 3]
In this verse, Wallen admits he does care and misses his ex as much as she might miss him. He describes a moment of weakness where his resolve melts, leading to a phone call that he later regrets. The "ninety proof" (a strong alcoholic drink) symbolizes the truth that emerges when he's under the influence, highlighting his continued struggle with honesty and self-deception.
