Tell me a good lie

So I stay a bit longer

Say she's even kinda cute

But she still leaves you wanting

Tell me you still look for me

In every woman

And that you get lost in madness

Just because you don't have me anymore

Play me a serenade

A poem, a book

Tell me you miss me

And sing me the reason why

Say the road's got no ground

When I'm not with you

And the alleys of your heart

Always return to the same place

Lie to me with a lover's touch

Stay with me after

I promise I'll be the best

At the art of pretending

Lie to me again and make up

We die in the flames in a slow dance

I'll always believe it

So I don't end up losing

Say there's only one me

Swear you're telling the truth

And that she even makes you laugh

But she doesn't have my scent

Cry like a movie actor

And I'll do what I can

To be your co-star

While you fake remorse

Lie to me with a lover's touch

Stay with me after

I promise I'll be the best

At the art of pretending

Lie to me again and make up

We die in the flames in a slow dance

I'll always believe it

So I don't end up losing

Lie to me with a lover's touch

Stay with me after

I promise I'll be the best

At the art of pretending

Lie to me again and make up

We die in the flames in a slow dance

I'll always believe it

So I don't end up losing

I'll always believe it

So I don't end up losing

I'll always believe it

So I don't end up losing

SONG MEANING

Conta-me ("Tell Me") drops us right in the middle of a late-night confession booth where pride is gone and love still lingers. The narrator asks an ex-lover to invent beautiful lies – say she is missed in every stranger’s face, swear that life feels like a floorless street without her, even stage movie-worthy tears. These imagined words are not meant to heal the break-up; they are a cozy blanket that lets her stay in the illusion a little longer, hoping to dance once more in the fire they once shared.

Behind the playful request to “lie with love,” Carolina Deslandes paints a portrait of self-aware denial. The singer knows the romance is over, yet chooses make-believe over loneliness because pretending offers a temporary win. The song becomes an anthem for anyone who has bargained with heartbreak, asking for sweet stories rather than facing the cold truth. It is equal parts vulnerable and theatrical – a slow waltz between reality and fantasy that shows how far we sometimes go not to walk away defeated.
