VELORA — Track 5: “Pretty Little Liar” [Intro, playful and soft] Smile for me Pretty please Fix your hair Hide your teeth Say you’re fine Say it sweet (Pretty little liar) [Verse 1] I learned young How to make it easy Keep my voice warm Make the room believe me Say “I’m good” With a little laugh Like nobody needs To look beneath that I got good At changing subjects Good at making pain Sound harmless Good at putting glitter Over everything Till even I forgot What I was covering [Pre-Chorus] Tilt your head Cross your legs Say the line Don’t forget Everybody loves you When you never make a mess [Chorus] Pretty little liar Smile a little wider Everybody loves you When nobody knows you Pretty little liar Keep the room inspired Tell them you’re amazing While your hands are shaking Pretty little liar Say it like you mean it “I’m alright” “I’m alright” “I’m alright” (She don’t believe it) [Verse 2] I can make heartbreak Sound like a joke Make a bad night Disappear in smoke Put on perfume Fix my face Walk into the party Like nothing took place They say “You’re always so happy” I say “Yeah, that’s just me” And somewhere underneath That perfect little answer Something starts laughing At the irony [Pre-Chorus] Tilt your head Cross your legs Say the line Don’t forget Everybody loves you When you never make a mess [Chorus] Pretty little liar Smile a little wider Everybody loves you When nobody knows you Pretty little liar Keep the room inspired Tell them you’re amazing While your hands are shaking Pretty little liar Say it like you mean it “I’m alright” “I’m alright” “I’m alright” (She don’t believe it) [Post-Chorus, sweeter and creepier] Fine, fine, fine I’m fine (Liar) Fine, fine, fine All the time (Liar) Look how pretty I can make a lie [Bridge, mask starts cracking] What if I ruin it? What if I say I hated every second Of yesterday? What if I tell you I’m tired as hell What if the pretty girl Doesn’t wanna sell One more perfect answer One more little grin One more shiny story With a body caving in Would you still love me If I made it ugly? Would you still stay If I stopped being lovely? [Breakdown] Pretty little liar Take your makeup off Pretty little liar Let the whole thing drop Pretty little liar You don’t have to smile Maybe being honest Can be pretty for a while (For a while) [Final Chorus, bigger] Pretty little liar Don’t smile any wider Anybody who loves you Should probably know you Pretty little liar Put down the little fire You don’t have to burn Just to keep everybody warmer Pretty little liar Say it like you mean it “I’m not alright” “I’m not alright” “I’m not alright” And maybe That’s alright (That’s alright) [Outro] Smile for me No Pretty please No Say you’re fine No Say it sweet No Pretty little liar Tell the truth (Tell the truth)
