Beautiful Lie (Radio Edit) Lyrics

We were masterful, we were classical

I felt beautiful the second you saw me

Lay my head in your whiter-than-marble sheets

Now the myth has a tragic ending

I don't know what to feel

I don't know what was real

Maybe you and I were a beautiful lie

That flicker in your eye, just a trick of the light

All the hopes that we had couldn't last through the night

But I swear I believed in our beautiful lie

Maybe you and I were a beautiful lie

That flicker in your eye, just a trick of the light

All the hopes that we had couldn't last through the night

But I swear I believed us

God, it was a beautiful lie (lie, lie, lie, lie)

It was a beautiful lie

Recognizable, indecipherable

Like a story written in a dead language

I can't understand half of the things you did

Sleepless nights losing fights with questions like

Was I just an idea that you poured in your ear

Maybe you and I were a beautiful lie

That flicker in your eye, just a trick of the light

All the hopes that we had couldn't last through the night

But I swear I believed in our beautiful lie

Maybe you and I were a beautiful lie

That flicker in your eye, just a trick of the light

All the hopes that we had couldn't last through the night

But I swear I believed us

God, it was a beautiful lie (lie, lie)

Beautiful lie (lie, lie)

It was a beautiful lie (lie, lie)

Beautiful lie

God, it was a beautiful lie

But I meant every word (Standing in the fire)

I swear I meant every word (Burning on the pyre)

Is a lie a lie if you and I meant it (Standing in the fire)

Is a lie a lie if you and I dreamt it (Burning on the pyre)

Now it haunts me every night (Burning on the pyre)

You and I (you and I)

You and I

Were such a beautiful lie (Such a beautiful lie)

Were such a beautiful lie

Maybe you and I were a beautiful lie

That flicker in your eye, just a trick of the light

All the hopes that we had couldn't last through the night

But I swear I believed in our beautiful lie

Maybe you and I were a beautiful lie

That flicker in your eye, just a trick of the light

All the hopes that we had couldn't last through the night

But I swear I believed us

God, it was a beautiful lie (I swear I believed)

Beautiful lie (lie, lie)

Beautiful lie (lie, lie)

Beautiful lie (lie, lie)
