[Verse 1 ] I cleaned up nice (Look at you, all polished) Said the right things (So damn smooth) Left my bad habits In the hallway (Waiting right outside) Signed my name twice On the same receipt One for the truth One for who I try to be You said I look lighter I said, “Maybe I am” (Just a facade) But I know how to hide With clean open hands I don’t always break hearts With the worst side of me Sometimes I smile (So polite, so fake) And call that peace [Pre-Chorus ] I can make wrong look gentle I can make guilt look new I can sound almost honest When I’m almost through (Self-righteousness shining through) [Chorus ] The good side lies too (Yeah, it really does) The good side lies too It tells you I’m fine When I’m still not true (Still broken inside) It wears a soft voice It knows what to do Don’t trust me too much The good side lies too [Verse 2 ] I’ve said “I changed” With a straight face (Lying straight to your face) While the old me waited In a quiet place I’ve made apologies Sound like songs Then skipped the part Where I was wrong I’ve held the door I’ve paid the bill (Classic disguise) I’ve looked real calm With my chest uphill Not every lie Comes dressed like a crime (Some wear a suit) Some wear clean shoes And show up on time [Pre-Chorus ] I can make pain look patient I can make pride look small (Just ego in a different font) I can say, “I’m just healing” When I’m hiding it all (You're just hiding away) [Chorus ] The good side lies too (Just a mask) The good side lies too It tells you I’m fine When I’m still not true (Nothing is okay) It wears a soft voice It knows what to do Don’t trust me too much The good side lies too [Bridge ] I blamed the dark Like it worked alone (It was you all along) But some of my worst Came gentle and slow I don’t need saving From one half of me (I want to be whole, not perfect) I need the whole room To tell on me (Please, call me out) [Final Chorus ] The good side lies too (Lying) The good side lies too It tells you I’m fine When I’m still not true It wears a soft voice It knows what to do Don’t trust me too much The good side lies too [Outro ] Don’t trust me too much (Don't trust the smile) The good side lies too
