Lyrics
[Title: Sweet Alibi] [Style] Slow R\u0026B blues fusion, intimate female vocal, warm bass, laid-back drums, smoky blues guitar, soft electric piano, expressive violin with blues phrasing, sensual late-night groove, elegant tension, controlled deception, seductive confidence, playful darkness, no victim energy [Intro] [Soft electric piano] [Blues guitar fill] [Violin slides in, low and slow] [Verse 1] You said it was nothing Then gave it a name You said it was simple Then sweetened the frame You said I was reading Too much in the line But every new answer Gets darker with time The truth comes coated In sugar and smoke So pretty to hear So easy to choke [Pre-Chorus] Every single excuse is a lie Every single word is a twist You keep making it sweeter Like I won’t taste the risk [Chorus] Keep going, baby Your alibis are getting better Keep going, baby Your alibis are getting sweeter But they crumble under The smallest pressure And I like the way they fall I like your alibi Sweet alibi I know the game But I like the play [Verse 2] She likes it when it crumbles Soft and delightful Like a biscuit Wrapped in denial The chocolate ones Are sinners, honey Too rich to trust Too sweet to be funny Your little truths Are dressed too clean Your pretty reasons Leave crumbs on the scene [Pre-Chorus] Every single excuse is a lie Every single word is a twist You keep hiding the trouble In the shape of a kiss [Chorus] Keep going, baby Your alibis are getting better Keep going, baby Your alibis are getting sweeter But they crumble under The smallest pressure And I like the way they fall I like your alibi Sweet alibi I know the game But I like the play [Bridge] [Violin lead, seductive and sharp] Give me the polished one Give me the pretty line Give me the version You rehearsed in your mind Make it soft Make it shine Make it almost Feel divine I don’t need proof I don’t need why I just like watching Your sweet little lie [Final Chorus] Keep going, baby Your alibis are getting better Keep going, baby Your alibis are getting sweeter But they crumble under The smallest pressure And I like the way they fall Every single excuse is a lie Every single word is a twist But when you say it like that I almost want the kiss I like your alibi Sweet alibi Keep talking, baby I already know [Outro] [Blues guitar fading] [Violin answers softly] Sweet alibi Sweet alibi So sweet It breaks
