Pretty When I Lie

I said I'm almost sober

You said,

"Look me in the eyes"

Three in the morning,

your dress on the floor You

know where I've been,

but you still lock the door

My phone lights up,

another name in the dark You

ask who it is while you're

reading my heart I tell you

she's nobody,

you've heard it before You laugh

through your teeth,

then you pull me in more

You know every pause,

every twist in my tone But

the truth doesn't sound as good

as your moans You read me

like subtitles,

still turn the volume high You

hate the way I hurt you,

but you love the way I

You say I'm pretty when I

lie When I swear that I'm

alright When I promise I'll be

yours And disappear before the light

You see the damage in my

eyes But you still pull me

inside You don't believe a word

I say But you still fuck

me when I lie

I said I quit the pills,

you found one in my coat

I said I'd change,

knowing damn well I won't I

tell you you're the only one

who knows me underneath But I've

whispered that same promise to whoever

wouldn't leave You call me a

disaster, I call you when I

crash You swear this is the

last time while you're pouring out

the glass You pretend that you

believe me,

knowing you're going insane Then we

tear apart the bedroom like we're

fucking our blame

Maybe I lie 'cause the truth

looks worse No tragic hero,

no blessing,

no cure You don't want the

man I become in the light

You want the beautiful wreck that

you hold every night You say

I'm pretty when I lie When

I swear that I'm alright When

I promise I'll be yours Even

knowing that I might Leave you

shaking in the light With another

alibi You don't believe a word

I say But you still fuck

me when I lie

You said you don't believe in

me

That's a pretty fucking lie
