Track 2: Beautiful Liar

Track 2

I’m looking at you, holding my breath,
Like you’ve got nothing left to confess.
Those innocent eyes, you wear them so well,
Half a saint, half a sin, I can’t quite tell.

Every word is a beautiful lie,
I should turn around, leave you to burn,
But I lean a little closer every time.

Oh, beautiful liar,
I know you’re guilty, I know you’re the fire,
I can’t see through you — can’t tell false from true,
But I’m already falling, falling into you.
So lie to me sweetly, look me dead in the eye,
Swear you’re an angel — and I’ll believe the lie.
I can see what you are, I can see every sin,
But I can’t pretend I’m not falling in.

You don’t beg, you don’t break, just hold my stare,
Like the truth’s a game and you’ve already won.
Defiant little devil in a saint’s disguise —
I’ve broken a hundred liars, none with your eyes.

I came here for a name, came here for the truth,
But you’ve got me confessing things I never knew —

Oh, beautiful liar,
I know you’re guilty, I know you’re the fire,
I can’t see through you — can’t tell false from true,
But I’m already falling, falling into you.
So lie to me sweetly, look me dead in the eye,
Swear you’re an angel — and I’ll believe the lie.
I can see what you are, I can see every sin,
But I can’t pretend I’m not falling in.

I know how this ends — I’ve watched it a thousand times,
The beautiful ones are always the cruelest kind of crime.
But go on and ruin me, go on, pull me down,
I’d rather drown in your lie than be saved right now.
So tell me you want me — I don’t care if it’s true —
God help me, I’m falling. I’m falling for you.

Oh, beautiful liar,
Burn it all down — I’ll still walk through the fire,
I know what you are, and I want you still,
‘Cause when you look at me… I can’t pretend.

No, I can’t pretend.
I’m falling.
Beautiful liar.
