Lyrics

Beautiful lie

You move like a warning
I should’ve seen coming
But I let you in anyway
Like a spark in the dark
Like a cut in the skin
That I keep wanting to taste
Every word that you whispered
Felt just enough like truth
To make me stay
And every time I saw the cracks
I looked away

I knew what you were
Before I touched the fire

You pulled me closer just to let me fall
Made me believe there was something real in all of this
Now I’m standing in the wreckage of it all
Still reaching for your kiss

I knew you’d ruin me
And I wanted it every time
I gave my heart to something perfect
Something broken
A beautiful lie

There was poison in your sweetness
And I drank it like a cure
Like I needed every ounce of hurt
To feel anything at all
You looked at me like I was everything
Then disappeared when it got real
And I kept holding onto shadows
Like they could still heal

I knew what this was
But I still let it inside me

You pulled me closer just to let me fall
Made me believe there was something real in all of this
Now I’m standing in the wreckage of it all
Still reaching for your kiss

I knew you’d ruin me
And I wanted it every time
I gave my heart to something perfect
Something broken
A beautiful lie

If I had the chance
I’d probably do it all again
That’s the worst part
Even knowing how it ends
I’d still let you in

You pulled me closer just to let me fall
Made me believe there was something left for me in this
Now I’m drowning in the ghost of what we were
Still addicted to your kiss

I knew you’d ruin me
And I wanted it every time
I gave my soul to something sacred
Something stolen
A beautiful lie
