what is the meaning of this

Question

My heart lies when I lie with you

"my heart lies" is the heart lying or laying how can i understand it?

Answer 1

It could be either one or both. Without further context or the performance of the phrase vocally, it is difficult to say. This is a question that supplies options more than answers...

Option 1: The heart is literally laying prone as is the person who owns the heart and the second person "you" with whom the other person is laying down.

Option 2: The two figures in question are laying down together (implying either a sexual encounter or together at rest); however, the narrator is doing so insincerely. The narrator may be physically laying down with someone, but their heart lies about their true feelings.

Option 3: The narrator and the second person "you" are telling a lie together. In this scenario, perhaps the narrator does not consider themselves a good liar, but their partner-in-crime strengthens their ability to lie such that the lie is believable to the core of the person.

I hope this helps, and I am sorry if it doesn't.
