Beautiful Lie lyrics

[Verse 1]
Kicking me when I'm down
Breaking your glass slipper
Of all the girls in this town
Can't believe it fit her
Got a snake on her tongue
Feel it when I kiss her
But it's about time it bit her

[Pre-Chorus]
Lights, camera, action
Bit of movie magic
Let's keep acting while it's still in fashion

[Chorus]
What a beautiful lie
What do we have if we don't believe it tonight?
Just look happy as we're standing here
Face to face, but we don't see eye to eye
What a beautiful lie

[Verse 2]
Hello world, hear me now
I'm writing this from behind the bars
Can somebody break me out?
I'm trapped and held inside her arms
So when nobody's around
Help me sneak out past the guard
'Cause I'm a prisoner playing the part
[Pre-Chorus]
Lights, camera, action
Bit of movie magic
Let's keep acting while it's still in fashion

[Chorus]
What a beautiful lie
What do we have if we don't believe it tonight?
Just look happy as we're standing here
Face to face, but we don't see eye to eye
What a beautiful lie
What a beautiful lie
What do we have if we don't believe it tonight?
Just look happy as we're standing here
Face to face, but we don't see eye to eye
What a beautiful lie

[Bridge]
I see through
But I don't wanna lose an illusion, no
Smoke and mirror kind of loving
I see you
But I don't wanna lose an illusion, no
Or all of this was all for nothing

[Pre-Chorus]
Lights, camera, action
Bit of movie magic
Let's keep acting while it's still in fashion
Lights, camera, action
Bit of movie magic
Let's keep acting like it's so dramatic
[Chorus]
What a beautiful lie
What do we have if we don't believe it tonight?
Just look happy as we're standing here
Face to face, but we don't see eye to eye
What a beautiful lie
What a beautiful lie
What do we have if we don't believe it tonight?
Just look happy as we're standing here face to face
But we don't see eye to eye
What a beautiful lie
