Red Hot Chili Peppers - I Could Have Lied Lyrics Meaning

This song was written about Sinead O'conner.

"The stare she bares have cut me" - the expression he got when he told her how he felt.
"My eyes could never never never keep their cool"- he couldn't hide his feelings.
"My face could never show what is not real"
"I showed her and i told her how she struck me but im fucked up now"-he confessed his love to her and got blown off.
"Now shes gone yes shes gone away"-sinnead left and told anthony not to look for her or contact her.

If you want the cold hard facts, try reading Anthony's autobiography, Scar Tissue. It's a great book.
