[Verse 1]
The devil you knew
Wore a soft smile
She said, “stay close”
Then stole your file
Took your soul
Left you the tab
Now you’re at the bar
Trying not to snap
One more drink
One more lie
You keep replaying
How she looked you in the eye
[Pre-Chorus]
You still taste her name
On the rim of that glass
Still blame yourself
For the way it passed
But the hurt got dressed
In a sweet disguise
And the truth came late
With her pretty lies
[Chorus]
Beautiful lie
She had you blind
Beautiful lie
She stole your mind
Beautiful lie
You still call home
Beautiful lie
Now you drink alone
(Beautiful lie)
(Beautiful lie)
[Verse 2]
She loved in pieces
Then charged you more
Kept the key
But changed the door
Every kiss
Had a hidden clause
Every promise
Was a practiced pause
Now the jukebox talks
Like it knows your pain
And the mirror shows
What she left in the vein
You laugh real low
Then you stare at the floor
'Cause your heart still knocks
For what it can’t restore
[Pre-Chorus]
You still hear her voice
In the ice and smoke
Every “I need you”
Was a perfect joke
But the wound don’t fade
When the wound got style
So you sit right there
And swallow the smile
[Chorus]
Beautiful lie
She had you blind
Beautiful lie
She stole your mind
Beautiful lie
You still call home
Beautiful lie
Now you drink alone
(Beautiful lie)
(Beautiful lie)
[Bridge]
Maybe love ain't gold
Maybe love ain't clean
Maybe some of it
Just comes dressed mean
You don’t need her ghost
In your blood tonight
You can break that spell
You can leave this light
[Final Chorus]
Beautiful lie
She had you blind
Beautiful lie
She stole your mind
Beautiful lie
You still call home
Beautiful lie
Now you drink alone
(Beautiful lie)
(Beautiful lie)
