Silver Lies

(Verse 1)

You wore your smile like a painted mask

Chasing shadows in a world that never asked

The city lights, they sparkle cold and bright

But they can’t disguise the way we lost the fight

(Pre-Chorus)

And I wonder if you ever knew

How the silver lies just pulled me through

(Chorus)

You were my gilded dream, a shining lie

I could never hold you, just let you fly

Golden touch, and a heart that never felt

I was chasing love, but it only dealt silver, silver lies

(Verse 2)

I held you close in a crowded room

Whispered secrets that we both consumed

The velvet air felt sweet, but it would burn

Just like the lessons that we never learned

(Pre-Chorus)

Now I’m asking if it’s all in vain

Were we just a flicker in the pouring rain?

(Chorus)

You were my gilded dream, a shining lie

I could never hold you, just let you fly

Golden touch, and a heart that never felt

I was chasing love, but it only dealt silver, silver lies

(Bridge)

Now I’m standing in the afterglow

The world is still, but my heart is slow

I wish I could erase the things we’ve done

But the truth’s been hidden, now we’re all undone

(Chorus)

You were my gilded dream, a shining lie

I could never hold you, just let you fly

Golden touch, and a heart that never felt

I was chasing love, but it only dealt silver, silver lies

(Outro)

Silver lies, silver lies

I’ll keep chasing, I’ll keep chasing the silver lies

Oh, silver lies...
