[Verse 1] You show up late like nothing happened Same black jacket, same excuse Say your phone died, say you lost track Baby, pick a better truth I know that smile, I know that look I know exactly what it means You’re halfway through another story And I’m already seeing through the seams [Pre-Hook] I should call you out I should walk away But then you lean in closer And I forget what I was gonna say [Hook] You’re so pretty when you lie Looking innocent with trouble in your eyes Say you want me, say you’re mine Even if I know it’s only for the night Pretty when you lie God, you make bad decisions look divine I should hate every word you say But damn You wear deception well You’re so pretty when you lie [Verse 2] You tell me he means nothing to you Like I didn’t see his name light up Then you kiss me like a confession And suddenly I almost don’t give a fuck You’ve got excuses like a playlist Every track sounds just the same And somehow I keep pressing replay Like maybe this time something changes [Pre-Hook] I know better That’s the worst part You don’t fool my head anymore Just my heart [Hook] You’re so pretty when you lie Looking innocent with trouble in your eyes Say you want me, say you’re mine Even if I know it’s only for the night Pretty when you lie God, you make bad decisions look divine I should hate every word you say But damn You wear deception well You’re so pretty when you lie [Bridge] Maybe I don’t love you Maybe I love the chase Maybe I like the way regret Looks written on your face Maybe I’m just tired Of pretending I’m surprised Because every time you break my trust I’m still looking in your eyes And thinking— God, he’s beautiful What a terrible excuse [Breakdown] Say it again Come on Tell me I’m the only one Say it slow Make it sweet Give me another lie I almost believe [Final Hook] You’re so pretty when you lie But pretty doesn’t make it right You can say you want me all you want I finally know What wanting me should look like Pretty when you lie Yeah, you almost had me one more time But tonight your perfect little story Doesn’t work on me You’re still pretty You’re still trouble You’re just not mine [Outro] You said, “Baby, you know I’d never lie to you.” I smiled. That one was your prettiest.
