Saints Lie Better at Night

[Verse 1 – whispered confession, dangerous calm]
You wore your halo like a loaded gun,
Smiled for the cameras, swore you’d never run.
I learned your secrets in the dark backstage,
Cherry-picked truth, locked love in a cage.
You prayed in public, sinned with me,
Said “don’t you dare tell a soul what you see.”

[Pre-Chorus – tension building, breath close to the mic]
Now the city knows my name,
But they don’t know what you gave away.

[Chorus – scandal hit, addictive hook]
Saints lie better at night,
Hands clean, hearts stained in white.
You blame me for the fire you lit,
But you struck the match, I just leaned in.
If loving you’s a crime, indict me twice—
Saints lie better at night.

[Verse 2 – sharper, unapologetic]
Red lipstick on your alibi,
You cried on cue, I watched you try.
Swore I was the reckless one,
But you loved the danger, loved the run.
Now I’m the rumor you can’t erase,
I’m the truth you buried under grace.

[Pre-Chorus – half-sung, half-spoken]
You say my name like it’s a sin,
But you still taste me when you pray again.

[Chorus – louder, bolder]
Saints lie better at night,
Say my name like a sacrifice.
You point the finger, I pay the price,
But you begged for me between your lies.
If loving you’s a crime, indict me twice—
Saints lie better at night.

[Bridge – stripped, scandal peak]
Go on, rewrite history,
Make me your guilty memory.
But mirrors talk when the lights go low,
And God already knows what you don’t show.

[Final Chorus – drop hits, explosive]
Saints lie better at night,
Crowns don’t mean you’re baptized right.
You burned my name to save your life,
But you still miss me every night.
If loving you’s a crime, indict me twice—
Saints lie better…
Better at night.

[Outro – breathy, dangerous]
Tell them whatever helps you sleep.
I was never your secret—
I was your truth you couldn’t keep.
