[Intro] Flash on Smile for the camera [Verse 1] Pictures look perfect, captions say forever But behind every post we barely hold it together Designer on your body, distance in your eyes Built a whole aesthetic out of carefully staged lies Dinner at rooftop spots, champagne by the glass Whole world think we golden, whole truth moving fast You posting me for optics, I’m performing being fine Two actors in expensive scenes pretending we aligned [Pre-Chorus] How’d we get so polished and so empty? House full of things but nothing left to tempt me [Chorus] Luxury lies, luxury lies Diamonds can’t distract from the look in your eyes Money can decorate pain real nice But we still cold underneath these lights Luxury lies, luxury lies Kissing for the cameras while the real thing dies Everything shines till truth arrives Luxury lies [Verse 2] You said I changed, maybe you right Success got louder, love got light Now we scheduling intimacy between business moves Making passion feel like something we gotta prove Used to talk for hours, now it’s surface replies “Did you eat?” “You good?” and a thousand disguised goodbyes Funny how abundance can still feel scarce When emotional debt starts charging interest on the heart [Bridge] What’s a penthouse view If I can’t connect to you? [Chorus] Luxury lies, luxury lies Diamonds can’t distract from the look in your eyes Money can decorate pain real nice But we still cold underneath these lights Luxury lies, luxury lies Kissing for the cameras while the real thing dies Everything shines till truth arrives Luxury lies
