In that case, no. A lie is defined as "a false statement." If you say nothing, it's not a lie. So if my girlfriend sees my green
contact lens pop out one day and says "You never told me you wear contact lenses, you lied to me." That is an incorrect statement.
Her statement is not a lie either, because she's mistaken. She's not deliberately giving false information.
Good grief. Now I'm sounding like Data. I shall remove all contractions from my previous statement.
