Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said forever, slow and sweet
On a porch with cracked white paint
I kept the jars, the notes, the keys
Built a home from your maybe-saint
I marked the walls where the future lived
Cut your name into the frame
You smiled like you meant every gift
Then left me holding the flame
[Pre-Chorus]
I made room in my whole life
For a door you never made
I planted seeds in dry ground
Still I watched them start to shade
[Chorus]
It was a beautiful lie
(beautiful lie)
I loved you like truth
It was a beautiful lie
(beautiful lie)
And I still miss the proof
You were never mine to keep
But you stay in everything
It was a beautiful lie
(beautiful lie)
That still knows how to sing
[Verse 2]
Your coat still hangs by the front hall chair
Your mug has a chipped blue side
I let the cold air stay right there
Like a guest I couldn’t hide
She asked why I still leave it out
I said some ghosts are kind
But the hardest part of loving doubt
Is how it feels like mine
[Pre-Chorus]
I made room in my whole life
For a door you never made
I planted seeds in dry ground
Still I watched them start to shade
[Chorus]
It was a beautiful lie
(beautiful lie)
I loved you like truth
It was a beautiful lie
(beautiful lie)
And I still miss the proof
You were never mine to keep
But you stay in everything
It was a beautiful lie
(beautiful lie)
That still knows how to sing
[Bridge]
Maybe you meant it that night
Maybe you meant it then
But forever has sharp little teeth
When it breaks in your hands
So I’m folding up the plans
That were never really ours
Still, your name hits like rain
On these quiet, empty floors
[Final Chorus]
It was a beautiful lie
(beautiful lie)
I loved you like truth
It was a beautiful lie
(beautiful lie)
And I still miss the proof
You were never mine to keep
But you stay in everything
It was a beautiful lie
(beautiful lie)
That still knows how to sing
[Outro]
I built a world from your almost
And lived there anyway
It was a beautiful lie
And I can’t say I’d trade it
