Beautiful Lying Eyes

Lyrics

Verse 1
You like the way I laugh too loud
Like the way I leave my shoes around
You trace my name into the fogged-up glass
Say
"Don’t ever change"
But you never ask

Pre-Chorus
You hold my hand like it’s a photograph
Something to frame
Not to understand

Chorus
You don’t love me
You love the thought of loving me
Built a little movie in your mind
But you don’t see the nights I’m breaking
You just see the perfect lines
You don’t love me
You love the thought of loving me
With those beautiful lying eyes
Beautiful lying eyes

Verse 2
You kiss me like a closing scene
Roll credits on the mess in between
You’re in love with how my damage sounds
But when I start to fall
You’re not around

Pre-Chorus
You keep my heart like it’s a lucky charm
Hang it on your neck
Never feel the harm

Chorus
You don’t love me
You love the thought of loving me
Built a little movie in your mind
But you don’t see the nights I’m breaking
You just see the perfect lines
You don’t love me
You love the thought of loving me
With those beautiful lying eyes
Beautiful lying eyes

Bridge
Tell me
When you say my name
Is it me
Or just the echo you’ve been chasing? (oh)
If I shattered every frame
Would you stay
Or would you fade with the painting?

Chorus
You don’t love me
You love the thought of loving me
Built a little movie in your mind
But you don’t see the nights I’m breaking
You just see the perfect lines
You don’t love me
You love the thought of loving me
With those beautiful lying eyes
Beautiful lying eyes (oh)
Those beautiful lying eyes
