Beautiful Lie

Intro

Mm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

She walks in slow motion through the afterglow

Heels tap a rhythm on the marble floor

Nobody asks where she came from at midnight

And her smile never tells you more

Pre-Chorus

Pearl earrings and a quiet laugh

Danger dressed in violet chiffon

I lean in close and she pulls back

Like the moon behind a cloud

Chorus

She's got a secret in the pale blue light

A locked room deep inside her eyes

One more dance and I'm losing sight

She's a beautiful beautiful beautiful lie

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Beautiful lie

Oh-oh

Verse 2

I traced the letters on her hand one evening

A name that wasn't mine to know

She whispered promises the walls were keeping

And watched the window steal the snow

Pre-Chorus

Same perfume and the same excuse

Every story starts to rhyme

I keep reaching for a deeper truth

But the pages fray with time

Chorus

She's got a secret in the pale blue light

A locked room deep inside her eyes

One more dance and I'm losing sight

She's a beautiful beautiful beautiful lie

Bridge

If I stay too close the shadows wake

And morning find the truth I chased

What would I hold when the curtain's raised

A ghost or a familiar face

Chorus

She's got a secret in the pale blue light

A locked room deep inside her eyes

One more dance and I'm losing sight

She's a beautiful beautiful beautiful lie

Outro

Mm

Walk on

Mm-hmm

Walk on
