Glitter
We looked the part
Memorized the lines
Made it look easy
We did it all the time
Just playin' along
Until the spotlight was gone
Cause you can only fake it so long
You can't water silk flowers
And expect them to grow
Or pretend it's a diamond
When it's a rhinestone
Yeah we made it look perfect
Like a magazine cover
Shine bright for the picture
But not for each other
The love wasn't real
The kiss was for show
Baby it was only glitter
But it was never gold
Some satellites are mistaken for stars
Like some people wish they had a love like ours
Cause it looked good on paper
Until the page turned
We found out we couldn't be
Who we were acting like we were
You can't water silk flowers
And expect them to grow
Or pretend it's a diamond
When it's a rhinestone
Yeah we made it look perfect
Like a magazine cover
Shine bright for the picture
But not for each other
The love wasn't real
The kiss was for show
Baby it was only glitter
But it was never gold
You can't water silk flowers
And expect them to grow
Or pretend it's a diamond
When it's a rhinestone
Yeah we made it look perfect
Like a magazine cover
Shine bright for the picture
But not for each other
The love wasn't real
The kiss was for show
Baby it was only glitter
But it was never gold
Memorized the lines
Made it look easy
We did it all the time
Just playin' along
Until the spotlight was gone
Cause you can only fake it so long
You can't water silk flowers
And expect them to grow
Or pretend it's a diamond
When it's a rhinestone
Yeah we made it look perfect
Like a magazine cover
Shine bright for the picture
But not for each other
The love wasn't real
The kiss was for show
Baby it was only glitter
But it was never gold
Some satellites are mistaken for stars
Like some people wish they had a love like ours
Cause it looked good on paper
Until the page turned
We found out we couldn't be
Who we were acting like we were
You can't water silk flowers
And expect them to grow
Or pretend it's a diamond
When it's a rhinestone
Yeah we made it look perfect
Like a magazine cover
Shine bright for the picture
But not for each other
The love wasn't real
The kiss was for show
Baby it was only glitter
But it was never gold
You can't water silk flowers
And expect them to grow
Or pretend it's a diamond
When it's a rhinestone
Yeah we made it look perfect
Like a magazine cover
Shine bright for the picture
But not for each other
The love wasn't real
The kiss was for show
Baby it was only glitter
But it was never gold
