Pretty Lies

Tell me your pretty lies
Hide behind your disguise
Say those 3 words I wanna hear (I love you)
Even if it's not true, my dear (Ha, ha, ha)
I can't help but want you more
I'm stung by your poisonous thorns
I know that we really shouldn't be (Stay with me)
Together, but why can't I leave?

All the 'promises' you've ever made
Proved to be part of your masquerade (Boy I should have known you were a fake)
But for some reason (Why why why)
I joined in on the party

Just look me in the eyes
And tell your pretty lies

(At least I say good morning on some days right?)
(Sometimes I just want the freedom to be single, y'know?)
(I am the best you'll ever get. You're gonna regret this)

I've tried to leave but I won't go
Cuz your arms to me, they feel like home
Once you pretend that we're okay (Like a play)
I give in and let you get away (La la la)
With things that I know I can't
But that's reality in our twisted romance
There's so much more that we could have been (Fantasy)
And that's the reason that I fall right back in

To be honest this is nothing new
It won't spoil my addiction to you (Boy you know I still want you)
Even though our love (Our love)
Is starting to feel empty

Just look me in the eyes (In the eyes)
And tell your pretty lies

(It's your fault I fell in love with you)
(If you really loved me, you'd do it)
(You should be grateful that I'm even here with you right now)

It doesn't matter if it's real (Just tell the story)
Cuz your words cater to my appeal (Give me temporary)
But somehow I still feel alone (Assurance, let's put on a show)
I'll find a way to make this work (I'll guarantee)
Even if it means I'll lose to her (That you'll be with me)
Cuz you're all that I have ever known (Forever, I won't let you go)

Tell me your pretty lies
And stay right here by my side
A couple minutes are enough (Just one or two)
I just need to feel your touch

Just look me in the eyes (In the eyes)
And tell your pretty lies
