#Liar by @noahcyrus is my favorite song. So you can imagine my shock and dismay when I learned that many lyric providers have misrepresented Noah's words. At 1:30, Noah sings, "I don't know what to do / 'Cause there's no over you." NOT "'Cause there's no wrong for you." (1/4)
@noahcyrus Most notably, @Musixmatch, which provides lyrics to both @Google and @Spotify, features this error, which is then amplified by secondary lyric sites, such as AZLyrics.com, Karaoke-Lyrics.net, and @LyricFind, which provides lyrics to Lyrics.com. (2/4)
@noahcyrus @Musixmatch @Google @Spotify @LyricFind The correct lyrics are featured in Noah's caption to the official video on @YouTube, as well as on @Genius, @AppleMusic, and in the song itself. This oversight matters because the incorrect lyrics do not make sense and the correct ones are better. (3/4)
@noahcyrus @Musixmatch @Google @Spotify @LyricFind @YouTube @Genius @AppleMusic By "there's no over you," Noah means "there's no *getting* over you," implying there is no future without her lover in it and thus underscoring her urgent desperation to make things right. For a song about dishonesty, this lyrical error strikes a particularly ironic chord. (4/4)
