(Verse 1) Dreams reflected in my tea cup, chandelier glow Clicking heels echo lies down the city road “Love you” — such a pretty line, but cheaper than my purse Still, it stings… maybe just a little (Pre-Chorus) I hit like on wedding rings and smiling brides “She looks so happy,” I lie with a sigh Tell me… is that really what bliss feels like? (Chorus) (Lies sweeter than diamonds), I’ll fool you with a smile One more foolish boy, falling for my style But when the night creeps in again Who’s gonna price my tears, my silent pain? (Verse 2) More than branded bags, I crave a touch at night But a “You’re so cute” makes me fake my pride “Someone like me, dreaming of fate? That’s rich.” Still deep inside… I wish (Pre-Chorus) Scrolling through gowns and vows in white Telling myself, “That’s not my life” But maybe… I just want to be seen right (Chorus) (Lies sweeter than diamonds), they keep my heart secure I wear my heels high, just to feel assured But I wish someone would see right through These fake eyelashes and the bruises too (Bridge) What is happiness? It’s not just cash But no one smiles when the bills stack fast I plan my looks, I play my part But sometimes… I just want a softer heart (Last Chorus) (Lies sweeter than diamonds), one more game to play Maybe love will find me if I fake it the right way But if someone could hold the real me tight Could I finally sleep through the night?
