You had a smile that pulled me in
A voice that drowned out all my sins
I swore the world was right with you
But lies can feel like heaven too
You held me close with empty hands
Built our dreams on sinking sand
I called it love, I called it fate
But now I see it all too late
They warned me, but I closed my eyes
I chose the pain, believed the lies
You were a beautiful lie
Wrapped in a lover’s disguise
I gave you all, you gave me doubt
Told me love, then shut me out
I wanted truth, but you sold me grace
Now I can't even trust your face
You were a fire, cold inside
Just a beautiful, beautiful lie
Every word you used was sweet
But hid the thorns beneath your feet
You kissed like storms before the fall
And I mistook it all for love
Now silence says what you never did
The truth was always there, just hid
You were a beautiful lie
Wrapped in a lover’s disguise
I gave you all, you gave me doubt
Told me love, then shut me out
I wanted truth, but you sold me grace
Now I can't even trust your face
You were a fire, cold inside
Just a beautiful, beautiful lie
But I won’t hate what I once held
Even broken, my heart still felt
You taught me what love isn’t made of
And that’s enough, that’s enough
You were a beautiful lie
Now I see through every line
I’m still healing, I’m still sore
But I won’t fall like that no more
You were the storm I let inside
But I survived, I said goodbye
No more fire, no more disguise
Just a beautiful, painful lie
