Verse 1
To anyone watching, things are still the same
I water my flowers often
I leave at nine to the same place
I think about letting you know
But I think there's no reason
For you to know about my life
I constantly look for a way out
From impulses I don't want to have
So I don't have to explain myself
And I lie to anyone who asks
And I pretend everything's fine
To nobody, after all
Not even I believe in myself
And I can even say yes
And I can even disguise myself
But I can't go on like this
Not even I believe in myself
Verse 2
To anyone watching, the days are always the same
Innocent impersonality
Verse 2
Ready-made superficial phrases
Ideal loves
Someone asks about you
And I always answer the same thing
Invariably the same thing
That it's over and it's better this way
So I don't have to explain myself
And I lie to anyone who asks
And I pretend everything's fine
To nobody, after all
Not even I believe in myself
And I can even say yes
And I can even disguise myself
But I can't go on like this
Not even I believe in myself
Not even I believe in myself
I lie to anyone who asks
Not even I believe in myself
Not even I believe in myself
Not even I believe in myself

SONG MEANING

“Minto Pra Quem Perguntar” paints the picture of a breakup survivor who keeps up a perfect routine—watering flowers, leaving home at nine, answering small-talk questions—yet inside she is crumbling; every polite “I’m fine” is a strategic lie meant to dodge deeper conversations, and every rehearsed reply (“it’s over and that’s better”) is a shield against reliving the pain. Anavitória captures the tug-of-war between outward normality and hidden turmoil, showing how we often mask heartache with social niceties until even we stop believing our own words. The song becomes an anthem for anyone who has ever smiled through tears, reminding listeners that pretending is easier than facing vulnerability but never truly heals the hurt.
