Your Pretty Lies v2

Lyrics

"All Your Pretty Lies"

(Rock Ballad)

Verse 1
The coffee’s cold, the lights are low again
You tell me stories I know ain’t true
You look me in the eyes, so sweet and sure
But every word’s a blade I see right through
I tried to turn a blind eye, let it slide
Thought you’d change, thought you’d learn to be real
But every time I reach for what we had
I find another lie beneath the deal

Pre-Chorus
I don’t ask for diamonds, don’t ask for much
Just the truth, just one honest touch
But you wrap me up in tales so fine
Till I can’t tell what’s yours or what’s mine

Chorus
Oh, you’re a master at the game you play
Every word you speak just melts away
I can’t live in a world you build with lies
Can’t keep holding on to what just dies
You say you love me, say you’ll change your ways
But I’ve heard those lines a hundred days
I loved you once, but I can’t stay and try
Not when my whole life’s built on all your pretty lies

Verse 2
Late nights coming home, excuses thin
You smile that smile and I cave again
I know I’m fooling myself to stay
But leaving’s harder than the pain I’m in
It tears me up, it’s tearing us apart
To love a ghost that never shows her heart
You think it’s harmless, think it’s just a game
But every lie’s another nail in our frame

Pre-Chorus
I don’t ask for heaven, don’t ask for gold
Just a love that’s true, just something I can hold
But you weave your dreams so soft and sweet
Till I’m drowning in the lies you speak

Chorus
Oh, you’re a master at the game you play
Every word you speak just melts away
I can’t live in a world you build with lies
Can’t keep holding on to what just dies
You say you love me, say you’ll change your ways
But I’ve heard those lines a hundred days
I loved you once, but I can’t stay and try
Not when my whole life’s built on all your pretty lies

Bridge
(Music builds — heavy guitar solo, drums kick in hard)
How many times can I forgive and forget?
How many truths can I let you regret?
I gave my heart, I gave my soul to you
But I can’t live a life that isn’t true
No, I can’t do it anymore…

Guitar Solo — slow, emotional, soaring

Chorus
(Slower, rawer, voice cracking with emotion)
‘Cause you’re a master at the game you play
Every word you speak just melts away
I can’t live in a world you build with lies
Can’t keep holding on to what just dies
You say you love me, say you’ll change your ways
But I’ve heard those lines a hundred days
I loved you once, but I can’t stay and try
Not when my whole life’s built on all your pretty lies

Outro
(Music fades — just acoustic guitar and vocal)
All your pretty lies…
Just empty alibis…
I loved you once…
But now I say goodbye.
