[Street Dolls – Pretty Lie]
[Vibe: dark pop · childish + twisted · dreamy · creepy cute · theatrical]
[BPM: 92]
[Intro – Whisper / Music Box]
[Lily – whisper]
Shh… don’t wake up… (don’t wake up)
Let me tell you a little secret… (shh…)
[Verse 1 – Lily]
They tucked me in with fairy tales and pink goodnight
Said every broken dream would heal overnight (sweet dreams)
Cookies for Santa, milk by the door
Waiting for footsteps that never came before (never came)
Told me, “Believe, don’t ask, don’t cry”
But every star they sold me was just another lie (pretty lie)
[Pre-Chorus – May]
The tooth fairy never came (where were you?)
Left my pillow feeling strange
Easter bunny missed my street
Guess my childhood fell asleep (goodnight)
[Chorus – All]
Everything I loved was a lie, lie, lie (lie to me)
Pretty little stories just to keep me blind
Santa Claus, bunny ears, fairy wings in the sky (fly away)
All the magic disappeared overnight
Now I’m paying for the lie, lie, lie
Credit cards and lonely nights (all alone)
Growing up is a sweet goodbye
To every single lie (mm…)
[Post-Chorus – Ad-libs]
[Hana] Candy-coated heartbreak (sugar rush)
[Lily] I just wanted to believe… (believe…)
[Verse 2 – May]
Plastic crowns and paper rings
They said love don’t hurt, it only sings (sing to me)
But boys kiss soft and cheat so loud
Turn your heaven into a battlefield (boom, boom)
They sold me dreams in shiny packs
But every promise had a crack (it broke)
[Pre-Chorus 2 – Lily + May]
They said forever never ends (never ends)
But loyalty just plays pretend
Fairy dust on broken trust (falling down)
Growing up is growing numb
[Chorus – All]
Everything I loved was a lie, lie, lie (tell me why)
Pretty little stories just to keep me blind
Santa Claus, bunny ears, fairy wings in the sky (fly, fly)
All the magic disappeared overnight
Now I’m paying for the lie, lie, lie (pay the price)
Credit cards and lonely nights
Growing up is a sweet goodbye
To every single lie (mm…)
[Rap – Hana | Short & Clean]
Glitter dreams, sugar-coated ghosts (sparkle)
From bedtime stories to unpaid notes
Lost my wings, lost my youth (falling)
Growing up hurts, but it’s the truth
[Bridge – Music Box + Dark Drop]
[Lily]
Can I stay in my bedroom? (stay with me)
Where the monsters are kind…
[May]
Where the mirrors don’t tell me
I’m running out of time… (tick-tock)
[Final Chorus – All + Key Change]
Everything I loved was a lie, lie, lie (lie to me)
But I still miss the way I used to cry
Over fake wings and lullabies (bye-bye)
Now I bleed in designer lies (pretty pain)
Yeah, I’m dancing with the lie, lie, lie (spin around)
In a dollhouse made of pride
Growing up is a sweet goodbye
To every single lie (mm…)
[Outro – Whisper / Music Box]
[Hana]
If growing up means losing magic… (losing magic)
I don’t wanna wake up.
[Lily – whisper]
Let me sleep inside the lie… (inside the lie…)
