[Verse] I put down the bottle and saw the lie A cracked-up mirror where truth won't try Fingers traced dust like a fading sigh Who was I chasing when I said goodbye [Prechorus] The floorboards creak like ghosts in the night Whispering secrets I can't rewrite [Chorus] Oh the lie the lie it burned so sweet Dancing shadows at my feet I thought I knew but I can't deny I put down the bottle and saw the lie [Verse 2] The clock hands tick but they don’t move on Time’s a thief when the will is gone A house of cards in a stormy dawn Truth is the joker laughing till it’s gone [Chorus] Oh the lie the lie it burned so sweet Dancing shadows at my feet I thought I knew but I can't deny I put down the bottle and saw the lie [Bridge] The glass is empty but the weight remains Echoes of whispers in the falling rain A hollow ache that knows my name I stare at the mirror but it’s not the same
