Sweet Was A Lie
Lyrics
Verse 1
They called it sweet
I watched it rot
Smiles on your face
Knife in the plot
You got too comfy
Too loud, too proud
Thought I was quiet
Thought I bowed down
I kept receipts
Every cold glance
Every fake hand
Every backstab dance
Now you look stunned
Now you look pale
I was the storm
You were the tale
Pre-Chorus
Count your steps
I know the route
Say my name
Then stare it out
You lit that match
Now watch it spread
I sleep on calm
I wake on red
Chorus
Sweet was a lie
Sweet was a lie
I’m back outside
I’m back outside
Sweet was a lie
Sweet was a lie
You made your bed
Now watch me slide
Verse 2
I don’t forgive
I don’t forget
I turn one scar
Into a threat
I let you laugh
I let you play
Thought I was gone
Out of the way
Now every move
Come back to you
Every sneaky thing
I see it through
You wanted smoke
You wanted war
Now I bring more
Than before
Cold in my chest
Heat in my eyes
You wanted peace
You should’ve been wise
Pre-Chorus
Count your steps
I know the route
Say my name
Then stare it out
You lit that match
Now watch it spread
I sleep on calm
I wake on red
Chorus
Sweet was a lie
Sweet was a lie
I’m back outside
I’m back outside
Sweet was a lie
Sweet was a lie
You made your bed
Now watch me slide
Bridge
I kept it tucked
I kept it tight
While you played king
All through the night
Now that grin
Don’t hit the same
I’m in your mirror
Speaking your shame
One by one
They see the switch
Who was the prey
Who was the witch?
Final Chorus
Sweet was a lie
Sweet was a lie
I’m back outside
I’m back outside
Sweet was a lie
Sweet was a lie
You made your bed
Now watch me slide
Sweet was a lie
Sweet was a lie
Say it again
If you feel that bite
