Beautiful Lie Lyrics

Beautiful Lie

Why can't our fantasies be true?

Why couldn't I keep loving you?

Why couldn't you be what you seemed to me to be?

It's hard when you figure out

Love is not what it's about

And no one else can give you what you really need

It's sorta sad when the illusion slips away and that's why

So many people never stop the play

We're born and we're trying to survive

That's why we end up believing the Beautiful Lie

Truth be told

Journey's scary when you're going it alone

Before you understand you're one of many travelers on the road

To thine own self be true

That's really all that you can do

That single act will free you from the heaviest load

It's sorta sad when the illusion slips away and that's why

So many people never stop the play

We're born and we have to survive

That's why we end up believing the Beautiful Lie, The Beautiful Lie

There's a point when it all becomes clear

You can't go back but before you nothing's there

You only have your faith when you see the cliffs below

That the wind will catch you up

You gotta close your eyes and just let go

One step at a time

There might be mountains yet to climb

But there's no going back to a shattered dream

Something leads you on

Maybe a little glimpse of dawn

Nothing less than a life of authenticity

It's sorta sad when the illusion slips away and that's why

So many people never stop the play

We're born and we have to survive

That's why we end up believing

That's why we can't stop believing

That's why we keep on believing

The Beautiful Lie

The Beautiful Lie

The Beautiful Lie

The Beautiful Lie
