Teeth Beneath the Smile

Verse 1: You walked in looking perfect Like you had nothing left to hide Everybody else was staring But I could see it in your eyes You move like you know something The rest of us don’t know Like there’s blood beneath the surface But you never let it show Pre-Chorus: Everybody loves a liar When they look like you Everybody wants the danger Till it cuts straight through Chorus: You wear your pretty lies Like they’re stitched into your skin But I can see the teeth beneath the smile And I know where you’ve been You can dress it up in gold Pretend you’re innocent awhile But I can see the teeth beneath the smile Verse 2: You talk just like a saint now But your hands don’t come clean You’ve got that look about you Like you’ve done terrible things Everybody calls you charming Like you’re something heaven-sent But I can feel the darkness Hiding underneath your breath Pre-Chorus: Everybody loves a liar When they look like you Everybody wants the danger Till it cuts straight through Chorus: You wear your pretty lies Like they’re stitched into your skin But I can see the teeth beneath the smile And I know where you’ve been You can dress it up in gold Pretend you’re innocent awhile But I can see the teeth beneath the smile Bridge: Maybe I should be afraid of you Maybe I should run But there’s something in the way you look at me That makes me want to come undone You look like the kind of person People write warnings about But I think I’d still follow you Even knowing how it turns out Final Chorus: You wear your pretty lies Like they’re stitched into your skin But I can see the teeth beneath the smile And I know where you’ve been You can dress it up in gold Pretend you’re innocent awhile But I can see the teeth beneath the smile
