[Verse 1] You wore that grin like gold Turned my name to smoke Signed it with a kiss Then watched the whole thing choke You spoke in perfect lines Sweet as broken glass Every word you sold me Cut a little past [Pre-Chorus] I saw the shine I saw the stain Same old fire Different name [Chorus] Counterfeit promises Cut right through me Counterfeit promises You sold the truth cheap Counterfeit promises Burning in my hands I won't buy back What I can’t stand [Verse 2] Midnight on the phone Same old loaded tone Talking like a saint With a thief in your bones You left a trail of ash Across my open door Now every pretty word Don't fool me anymore [Pre-Chorus] I know the sign I know the game Same old fire Different name [Chorus] Counterfeit promises Cut right through me Counterfeit promises You sold the truth cheap Counterfeit promises Burning in my hands I won't buy back What I can’t stand [Bridge] [Clean guitar break] You can keep your silver tongue Keep your rehearsed disguise I learned the weight of lies By the look in your eyes [Chorus] Counterfeit promises Cut right through me Counterfeit promises You sold the truth cheap Counterfeit promises Burning in my hands I won't buy back What I can’t stand [Outro] No more No more Counterfeit promises No more
