[Chorus] Saints make terrible liars When the halo starts to slip I can hide behind the choir But I can't hide from your lips [Verse ] The devil never tempted you And yet you crave my touch My lovely little saint in prayer Your beauty is too much Myself, I wear the perfect mask While I live and breathe in sin They see the lies I tell them Not the darker truth within I can swear I didn't mean it I can swear it was a slip But every time I say I'm innocent I taste you on my lips [ chorus ] Saints make terrible liars When the halo starts to slip You can hide behind the choir But I can read it on your lips [ Verse ] I know the words by heart That's the thing with practiced prayer I can say I'm sorry beautifully I just can't make myself care But you look so guilty Before you've done a thing I don't know whether to teach you Or protect your wings They think you're safe beside me That's the cruelest joke of all I'm the hand beneath the table While you're praying not to fall [ Bridge ] Don't look at me like that Someone might notice Don't say my name that softly Someone might hear If they ask where you've been Tell them you were praying [Break] [Spoken] And if they ask about me— [Pause] ...Lie. [ chorus ] Saints make terrible liars And you're trembling when you pray You can swear that I'm temptation While you're asking me to stay [ Verse ] You take communion every Sunday Like you're swallowing grace I'd give anything to know What temptation tastes like on your face Let me baptize you in midnight See the fire in your eyes You don't have to lose your heaven To discover what's outside [Spoken] But you'll have to learn a better mask If you continue giving in… [ chorus ] Saints make terrible liars You wear every secret on your skin You can hide behind the choir But I know exactly where you've been
