Sweetest Sin

Verse 1

Pin me down with velvet fiction

Wrap your sugar-coated contradiction

Tell me that the world is gentle

That nobody's ever gonna leave

Pre-Chorus

I know the truth would cut me open

So keep the blade inside your mouth

Don't show me what's behind the curtain

Just let me stay here in the south

Chorus

Keep on lying baby

Let me sleep inside your sweetest sin

Keep on lying baby

If you tell the truth it all caves in

Keep on lying hold me tight

I don't wanna see the light

Keep on lying baby

The truth would end us baby so just lie

Verse 2

Paint me pretty in your fake light

I'm your porcelain your perfect shrine

Tell me I'm the only fire

That burns inside your restless chest

Pre-Chorus

Don't hand me any broken mirrors

I like the image that you drew

I'd rather drown in your invention

Than ever see the real you

Chorus

Keep on lying baby

Let me sleep inside your sweetest sin

Keep on lying baby

If you tell the truth it all caves in

Keep on lying hold me tight

I don't wanna see the light

Keep on lying baby

The truth would end us baby so just lie

Bridge

I'm not asking for the sun

Just the warmth of a well-told story

I know the ending's already written

But I'll take the temporary glory

Drop

Lie to me

Lie to me

Lie to me

Lie

Chorus

Keep on lying baby

Let me sleep inside your sweetest sin

Keep on lying baby

If you tell the truth it all caves in

Keep on lying hold me tight

I don't wanna see the light

Keep on lying baby

The truth would end us baby so just lie
