Beautiful Lies lyrics

[Verse 1]

Beautiful lies

Cover my eyes with your hands

Just pretend we're better

Turn out the light

There are no more surprises to come

Let's be numb together

[Pre-Chorus]

The world's so fast and nothing lasts

Let's save it while we can

[Chorus]

Cause I want to be forever

Like smoke in the air

Float like a feather going nowhere

Lost in the silence

I don't need to be free

Kill me with kindness

And please

[Verse 2]

Tell me beautiful lies

I wish that I had the strength to let go, but I don't

I'm paralyzed

I see the child in your eyes and I'm stuck in the headlights

[Pre-Chorus]

I know too well that time will tell

It's easy to forget

[Chorus]

Cause I want to be forever

Like smoke in the air

Float like a feather going nowhere

Lost in the silence

I don't need to be free

Kill me with kindness

And please

[Bridge]

Oh, well, I've tried to be open

But I've found it's hard when you're broken

And in the heat of the moment, we're free

So please, please

Please

[Outro]

Tell me beautiful lies

Cover my eyes with your hands

Just pretend we're better

Turn out the light

There are no more surprises to come

Let's be numb together
