about

Set to guitar, violin, and piano, "If You Don't Lie" is a reminder to not brush your feelings under the rug. The subject wants to share the weight of his partner's burden if she would only let him in.

lyrics

"You would never tell me what you’re really thinking
You would always play it off as nothing
I could tell it from the way that you were breathing
You were trying to cover up something

I just want to lend a hand
You don’t have to live the same story
The truth should be said
I was hoping you could do that for me

Didn’t take very long to realize you’re way better off if you don’t lie
If you don’t lie baby, if you don’t lie, so don’t lie
Knew that something was wrong on the inside, you’re way better off if you don’t lie
If you don’t lie baby, if you don’t lie, so don’t lie

I could see it in your eyes, you were sinking
Hiding somewhere that I can’t follow
It would hit you in the middle of the weekend
And leave you feeling so hollow

If you’d only let me in I could take some of the weight off you
You know I can, you just got to tell me the truth

Didn’t take very long to realize you’re way better off if you don’t lie
If you don’t lie baby, if you don’t lie, so don’t lie
Knew that something was wrong on the inside, you’re way better off if you don’t lie
If you don’t lie baby, if you don’t lie, so don’t lie
If you don’t lie baby, if you don’t lie, so don’t lie
If you don’t lie baby, if you don’t lie, so don’t lie

Tell me what you’re actually thinking
Don’t play it off as nothing if it’s something

Didn’t take very long to realize you’re way better off if you don’t lie, so don’t lie"

about

Deer Fellow image

Deer Fellow Austin, Texas

Deer Fellow is an indie folk-pop duo with a “keen sense of song craft.” Based out of Austin, bandmates Matt Salois (guitar, vocals) and Alyssa Kelly (violin, vocals, piano) met at an open mic and were quick to collaborate. Fast forward to present day and coupledom, the two have built a cross-genre sound that “pulls you in right away, stirring romance and broken hearts.” ... more
