Write about a lie and how it was discovered.

LyricsShow lyrics

The Friends "Invisible Ink"

never meant to be a bad guy

never wanted you to feel thrown

always thought that you were all mine

even when you didn't come home

the stories made me crazy

my friends said you were still

running me in circles again

still I never thought that one big lie

would leave me lying here all alone

I read it all

in the middle of the night

it told me all

one phone call was all it would have took to tell me all

but now I'm caught staring at the words you're sharing

while invisible ink begins to fall

Well I knew you were a bit friendly

To a friend who shared a name with me

chalked it up to ol’ coincidence

didn't think to dust for fingerprints

you always write me for my eyes alone

I’d get excited when I’d see your name glow

so I uncovered one big lie

when I was lying here all alone

Everything that you say

I Wrote it down, kept track of every day

And all the Memories I thought were safe

It all Disappears, it goes away

This sounds very good right from the start. I like the arrangement, the slow build. The production sounds good, this is well crafted. Maybe going into the end is a bit abrupt? That crash cuts out all the sudden and takes me out of it a bit. Turns out the lyric you posted isn’t exactly what you sang.
Lyric: There are a few lines that don’t scan well on the written page. Using “all” twice in one line, “write me for my eyes alone”, for instance. I’m betting they’ll work much better with music. You have a good rhythm but it’s not quite as smooth as some of the others.

This starts off frankly a bit corny. It's a little too straight and pop-country-ish for me, I guess I have some genre bias. The instrumentation plus the melodies and some of the lyrics are a little too pat. I like when the energy picks up for the "Everything that you say" part, it gets way more interesting to me there. I think you could have let that play out longer and not abruptly cut it off so soon. Or maybe switched to that sooner or otherwise made that sound a larger portion of the song overall. I think the coda would have worked better if you took longer to get to it.
