"Lived a Lie" is a single by British rock band You Me at Six. The single was released on 3 September 2013 as a digital download in the United Kingdom.

However, "Lived A Lie" debuted at Number 11 on the UK Singles Chart on the week ending 14 September 2013 due to lack of sales following from its release, making it their highest chart position in their home country to date.
