A lie is when you say something happened which didn't happen. But there is only ever one thing which happened at a particular time and a particular place. And there are an infinite number of things which didn't happen at that time and that place. And if I think about something which didn't happen I start thinking about all the other things which didn't happen. At times statements have dual character and it seems a bit difficult to say whether the statement is true or it's a lie. Definitely, there is a philosophical answer to this statement, e.g., if one says that Sunday will come after Saturday, then the person is very right in saying this but there is an element of lie in this statement too as the event has not taken place at the moment and there is not a guarantee that it will definitely take place.
