Dive into the heartfelt world of sapphic longing with "Comfort Lie" by Grace O'Shea. This Nashville-based singer-songwriter beautifully captures the bittersweet moments of a relationship's end on this track, co-produced by O’Shea & Blake Mohler. Her raw lyrics and emotive vocals will resonate with anyone who has experienced the pain of self-deception in a crumbling relationship. Brutally honest in its longing, it’s a perfect addition to any sad girl’s playlist.

lyrics

I miss back when you loved me more completely
Before we put a muzzle on ourselves
You complimented me ever so sweetly
These mechanical words feel like someone else

This won’t stand the test of time
You lowered your expectations
Why am I raising mine?
Words left unsaid in the air
Crushed beneath the weight of them
The answer should be clear
But you’re my favorite comfort lie
And when I go to bed at night
I relive the good parts like a fantasy
Sleeping with your memory

I still wear my hair down cus you like it
Maybe I’ll cut it all off to forget
The darling way you’d look at me
Your weaponized intimacy
The twisted words that fill me with regret

This won’t stand the test of time
You lowered your expectations
Why am I raising mine?
Words left unsaid in the air
Crushed beneath the weight of them
The answer should be clear
But you’re my favorite comfort lie
And when I go to bed at night
I relive the good parts like a fantasy
Sleeping with your memory

I know that it’s not healthy
All this lying to myself
But I can’t bear the thought of loving anybody else

This won’t stand the test of time
You lowered your expectations
Why am I raising mine?
Words left unsaid in the air
Crushed beneath the weight of them
The answer should be clear
But you’re my favorite comfort lie
And when I go to bed at night
I relive the good parts like a fantasy
Sleeping with your memory

I don’t know how hard I tried not to
Let your perfumed presence permeate my life
As pieces fell I put them back
But at some point I must accept
That in the end I’m all alone tonight
