Love is a Lie

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
