[Intro]
Your crimson promise
Still stains the glass
A vow on a paper napkin
Turned to ash
[Verse 1]
You traced my name
In cheap red wine
Said
"This is forever"
Then checked the time
You held my hand
Already halfway gone
I learned the script
But missed the con
[Chorus]
These lips of deceit
Taste sweet
Taste bitter
Burn marks on my memory
That never wither
You swore by the stars
While you hid the knife
Kissed me like a blessing
Then bled my life
Oh
Lips of deceit
You turned my truth into your lie
[Verse 2]
Your painted smile
A practiced art
You bit your tongue
To bait my heart
I wore your words
Like borrowed steel
Shiny and sharp
But it never healed
[Chorus]
These lips of deceit
Taste sweet
Taste bitter
Burn marks on my memory
That never wither
You swore by the stars
While you hid the knife
Kissed me like a blessing
Then bled my life
Oh
Lips of deceit
You turned my truth into your lie
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to half-time
Guitars ring out]
I tear your letters
Line by line
You can't haunt a heart
That you left behind (oh)
I raise my voice
Above your ghost
I won't drink poison
To honor a toast
[Chorus]
These lips of deceit
Taste sweet
Taste bitter
Burn marks on my memory
That never wither
You swore by the stars
But I broke the spell
Your kiss was a kingdom
I crawled through hell
Oh
Lips of deceit
Fade like a shadow when I rise
[Chorus]
(Yeah) lips of deceit
Can’t speak my story
I carve my tomorrow
From all your glory
You swore by the stars
Now I claim the sky
I walk from the wreckage
And learn to fly
Oh
Lips of deceit
I turn your lie into my light
Tyeto
