Golden Hour Lies

Verse 1 Sunset painting us perfect Like nothing was wrong Your smile held like a secret I believed for too long We looked good in the quiet Posted proof we were fine But love felt different When the light started to die Pre-Chorus You held me closer Right before the fall I should’ve known better Gold don’t last at all Chorus Those were golden hour lies Soft light, hard goodbyes We were flawless for a minute Till the truth broke through the sky Yeah, the golden hour lies Made the pain look divine I loved you most when we were fading In that perfect, dying light Verse 2 Coffee cups on the counter Still warm from your hands We talked about forever Like we both had a plan Every promise felt fragile Like glass in the sun Shined bright but couldn’t handle What we were becoming Pre-Chorus You kissed me slowly Like you already knew That this was the last time I’d believe in you Chorus Those were golden hour lies Soft light, hard goodbyes We were flawless for a minute Till the truth broke through the sky Yeah, the golden hour lies Made the pain look divine I loved you most when we were fading In that perfect, dying light Bridge If I could freeze the colors I’d still let them fade ‘Cause staying in the moment Wouldn’t make you stay We weren’t meant for midnight We only fit the glow Some loves are made for endings Before you even know Final Chorus Those were golden hour lies Still replaying in my mind We looked like something timeless But we ran out of time Yeah, the golden hour lies Taught my heart the truth That loving you was beautiful Even when it wasn’t true Outro Now every sunset reminds me Of what we tried to be Perfect for a moment Then gone quietly
