You lie

And you're aware

Of how hard it is to be without you

I keep

Behind my teeth

Everything that I don't know how to say

Whether to run or stay here

Whether to stay or let you go

Because if you ask me to stay

I swear that I would

I'd stay

And if you ask me to leave you

I'll do it, but it's not what I wanted

It was supposed to

If I say that I love you, you answer nothing

And when I want to run away

You come and stop me

You make it impossible

Who can be okay like this?

You lie

When you sigh

I know that it's hard for you to be here

Tell me, who are we going to fool?

Even silence can speak

Why pretend if we know what's going to happen?

Tell me if you're already leaving

So that I can say goodbye

If we keep going like this it's never going to end

Because if you ask me to stay

I swear that I would

I'd stay

And if you ask me to leave you

I'll do it, but it's not what I wanted

It was supposed to

If I say that I love you, you answer nothing

And when I want to run away

You come and stop me

You make it impossible

Who can be okay like this?

You lie

SONG MEANING

“Mientes” (“You Lie”) drops us right in the middle of an emotional tug-of-war. The Mexican trio Reik paints the picture of a couple trapped between please stay and please go, where every sigh, silence, and half-spoken word feels like another turn of the screw. The narrator is so in love that he will “stay if you ask, leave if you ask,” yet he knows the other person is fibbing and already halfway out the door. This blend of passionate devotion and painful clarity gives the song its bittersweet punch.

Why is it so relatable? Because we have all met someone who keeps us guessing: one moment they fall quiet, the next they pull us back in, making it “impossible” to move on. Reik captures that dizzy feeling with soaring vocals and a slow-burn melody that feels like a heartbeat trying to decide whether to race or rest. “Mientes” is, at its core, a lesson in self-worth: the sooner we call out the lie, the sooner we can free ourselves to find a love that truly answers when we say te quiero.
