Taylor Swift: I'd Lie Meaning
I'd Lie Lyrics
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
I count the colors in his eyes
He'll never fall in love he swears
As he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's...

#1 top rated interpretation:This song is about a boy, who Taylor is completly in love with, and he has no idea. They are really close, and he probably sees her as more of a 'sister' figure than a possible 'girlfriend'. Taylor knows every little detail about him, like he can play guitar, loves green, has his mother's eyes, a beautiful sister, born on the 17th, etc. He doesn't see how much they could be together, and she knows that the odds of it ever happening are probably slim to none, so if someone asked her if she loved him. she's lie.

I can relate to this song so much! It describes me perfectly.
She is in love with her best friend.
And knows evrything about him.
But he dosent think of her that way -
I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
I count the colors in his eyes
Taylor says that she and the guy she likes are pretty vocal and open to each other. The guy tells her about his night, and as she is there for him.
He'll never fall in love he swears
As he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong
And I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
Cause I know all his favorite songs
I don't know if she means he jokingly says he'll never fall in love with her, or simply he is saying he won't fall in love with anyone. Of course, she secretly wishes that he's wrong. She loves him alright, but he doesn't know. It might never have crossed his mind that she may actually love him more than a friend.
And I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you asked me if I love him
I'd lie
She just states here the facts about the guy she likes and how she almost knows everything about him. But if anyone asks her if she is in love with him, she would lie and just deny the whole thing.
He looks around the room.
Innocently overlooks the truth.
Shouldn't a light go on?
Doesn't he know that I've had him memorized for so long?
This certain guy might be a classmate or officemate... or simply some other guy she's in a room with together that doesn't know that she likes him. She knows exactly what that guy will do, or what that guy wants since she says that he could say "Shouldn't a light go on?" once he enters the room.
He sees everything black and white.
Never let nobody see him cry.
And I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine.
"black and white" means the guy she likes is someone who takes things seriously. He knows what is right and wrong. Therefore, he doesn't want to let his ego down, instead he hides his problems. In turn, Taylor hides any sort of her feelings towards him from other people.
He stands there, then walks away
My God, if I could only say
I'm holding every breath for you
She looks at him from afar, or he approaches her then walks away... if he only knew how much she is in love with him.
He'd never tell you
But he can play guitar
I think he can see through
Everything but my heart
First thought when I wake up is
My God, he's beautiful
So I put on my makeup
And pray for a miracle
She says that the guy she likes has a hidden talent in playing the guitar, and she is aware of that. He is not ignorant towards other matters, except regarding her feelings for him. Of course when we are in love with someone, they will be our first thought when we wake up. We get fascinated with him, and how unattainable he is. We end up fixing and making ourselves look good just for him. That's how Taylor feels as well. -
She said when she sang this acoustic: "This song is about a guy i had a crush on,who didn't know it. And i ended up playing it at our high school talent show and... it was just really awkward and great."

This song is about a guy that Taylor has a crush on. She has always wanted him to notice her and if you asked her if she liked him... She'd Lie

I can relate with this song so much. This song is just what it is. She is in love with this guy but he sees her as a friend, and only a friend. She knows his secrets because they are close. And if someone asked her if she loves him, she'd lie and say no.

This song is really self explanatory.
She is in love with a guy, probley someone she is close too and has known for a while.
He talks to her about private stuff, and she knows some of his secrets.
But she loves him, and he only see's her as a friend.
So she knows all about him, even some secret stuff, but he never notices how much she likes him.
