We were masterful, f*cking 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 shit 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)
