[Verse 1] I see right through the lies you tell In your eyes, the quiet spell You hide the truth behind a smile Hoping it stays down for a while Your distant gaze is drifting far Evading answers, showing scars I hear the sound inside your heart [Pre-Chorus] I keep my silence through the pain Holding on against the rain You wrap it up so gracefully The blade that cuts so deep in me [Chorus] You're lying to my face, I see it clear But you lie so beautifully, my dear So I pretend that I believe in you (I believe in you) You're lying to my face, I see it clear But you lie so beautifully, my dear So I pretend that I believe in you (I believe in you) [Verse 2] My evening rests within your hands My fear upon your lips commands You kiss me like a saving grace Then leave me in an empty place I try to hold my tongue inside And let the silent questions slide My heart keeps tally, counting low Every truth you wouldn't show [Pre-Chorus] I wish that I could step away At the edge, I choose to stay You know just how to feel like home Even with the lies you've sown [Chorus] You're lying to my face, I see it clear But you lie so beautifully, my dear So I pretend that I believe in you (I believe in you) You're lying to my face, I see it clear But you lie so beautifully, my dear So I pretend that I believe in you (I believe in you) [Bridge] If the truth is just a wound to bear Why wrap it up with velvet care? A polished gift inside a shell So I can't break beneath the spell I laugh whenever terror grows I scream in silence no one knows And every gentle it's alright Sinks me deeper in the night [Chorus] You're lying to my face, I see it clear But you lie so beautifully, my dear So I pretend that I believe in you (I believe in you) You're lying to my face, I see it clear But you lie so beautifully, my dear So I pretend that I believe in you (I believe in you) You're lying to my face, I see it clear But you lie so beautifully... [Outro] I pretend... (I believe in you)
