She used to dream in roses, used to chase the stars
Thought that love was magic, stitched into her scars
But every time she gave it, it just slipped away
Left her standing in the wreckage, nothing more to say
She told herself, "This time is real"
Believed the words, the way they’d feel
But hearts don’t heal when lies still burn
Now she knows, now she's learned
Love is a lie, just a fairytale line
A whisper of hope that will leave you behind
She was naive to think she'd won
But love never stays, no, love just runs
She traced the promises, written in the sand
Every single heartbeat, slipped right through her hands
She built up walls, so high, so strong
Swore she'd never fall, but she fell all along
(Pre-Chorus)
She told herself, "This time is real"
Believed the words, the way they’d feel
But hearts don’t heal when lies still burn
Now she knows, now she's learned
Love is a lie, just a fairytale line
A whisper of hope that will leave you behind
She was naive to think she'd won
But love never stays, no, love just runs
Maybe one day she'll believe again
But not tonight, not after him
Her heart’s too bruised, her trust too thin
She won’t be fooled, not again
Love is a lie, she tells herself
No happy endings on her shelf
She was naive to think she'd won
But love never stays, no, love just runs
