Intro — Male Lead]
Yeah…
I see it in your face…
You already know…
[Female Background Vocals]
(mm…)
[Chorus — Female Lead (Long, Powerful, Heartbreaking)]
Don’t say you love me…
If you’re only here for tonight…
Don’t hold me like I’m something
Then disappear in the light…
I can’t keep fallin’ for promises
That you don’t even try to keep
You look me deep in my eyes
Just to leave me incomplete
(big belt)
And I hate that I still want you
Even when it hurts inside
You ruin me so gently
With those beautiful lies…
Beautiful lies…
That sound like love…
But never stay…
[Verse 1 — Male Lead (Soft, Confessional)]
I know I’m not innocent
I got my shadows too
I say I want forever
But I don’t know what to do
I run when it gets real
Then I come back when I’m weak
And you don’t deserve that chaos
But you still let me breathe
[Female Background Vocals]
(why do I…)
[Pre-Chorus — Male Lead]
So don’t let me back in
If I’m gonna break you again…
[Chorus — Female Lead (Bigger Emotion)]
Don’t say you love me…
If you don’t know how to stay…
Don’t touch me like you need me
Then push me away…
I’m tired of bein’ your comfort
When you’re lonely in the dark
Tired of pickin’ up the pieces
Every time you fall apart
(huge belt)
And I scream but you don’t hear me
‘Cause you’re numb inside your pride
Still you kiss me like a sinner
With those beautiful lies…
Beautiful lies…
I keep holdin’ on…
But I’m tired…
[Verse 2 — Male Lead (Emotional, Regretful)]
You deserve someone steady
Not someone made of storms
But I’m damaged and I know it
I been broken since before
And you got your own pain too
That you hide behind your eyes
So we meet in the middle
Of obsession and goodbye
We’re not healthy
But we’re close
It’s a fire
That won’t go…
[Female Background Vocals]
(won’t go…)
[Bridge — Female Lead (Soft Cry to Power)]
Why does love feel like sufferin’?
Why do I stay when I’m done?
Why do I crave what is poison
Just to feel someone…
(build)
I don’t want this forever
But I don’t want to let go
So I stand in the ruins
Of a love that won’t grow…
[Final Chorus — Female Lead (Biggest Adele-Style Climax)]
Don’t say you love me…
If you’re only gonna leave…
Don’t hold my heart in your hands
Just to watch it bleed…
I gave you everything holy
And you gave me somethin’ cold
Now I’m cryin’ in the mirror
Tryna feel whole…
(long belt)
And I hate that I still want you
Even as I drown in pride
You take me back to nothin’
With those beautiful lies…
Beautiful lies…
Beautiful lies…
Still mine…
Still goodbye…
[Outro — Male + Female Fade]
Male: I’m sorry…
Female: (don’t say you love me…)
Male: I’m trying…
Female: (beautiful lies…)
