[Verse 1] You wear your secrets like a second skin, A little smile and I let you in. You tell me heaven when you mean goodbye, And I can see it dancing in your eyes. You pull me closer, then you disappear, Whisper something I want to hear. I know your promise isn't built to last, But darling, don't you make it end too fast. [Pre-Chorus] I know, I know, Don't tell me that it's true. I know, I know, But I still want you to [Chorus] Tell me your sweetest lies, Look me straight into my eyes. Give me a dream I can pretend is real, Give me something I can feel. Tell me your sweetest lies, Wrap them up in paradise. I don't need forever tonight, Just give me one more beautiful lie. [Verse 2] Two little masks upon the table, Which one of us is more unstable? You hide your heart, I hide mine too, Maybe that's what lovers do. You say you love me, soft and slow, Like there's nowhere else you'd rather go. I hear the truth beneath your breath, But I don't care, not yet. [Pre-Chorus] I know, I know, You're only passing through. I know, I know, But let me pretend with you [Chorus] Tell me your sweetest lies, Look me straight into my eyes. Give me a dream I can pretend is real, Give me something I can feel. Tell me your sweetest lies, Wrap them up in paradise. I don't need forever tonight, Just give me one more beautiful lie. [Bridge] Maybe the truth is overrated, Maybe we're better complicated. Maybe the mask is all we need, A little fiction to make us believe. So don't take it off, Don't show me who you are. Stay right here in the shadows, And I'll meet you halfway in the dark. [Final Chorus] Tell me your sweetest lies, Keep that fire behind your eyes. Give me a dream I can pretend is real, Give me something I can feel. Tell me your sweetest lies, Kiss me underneath the red skylight I don't need forever tonight, I don't need a reason why Just give me one more, One more beautiful lie. [Outro] One more beautiful lie... Tell me I'm the only one. One more beautiful lie... Don't let the morning come.
