You wore a halo made of glass Said forever never passed But your kiss had wolfish teeth Hidden roses, rotten beneath I held your name like gold You sold me warm, you left me cold Now the beating in my chest Echoes this, and I confess Ooh, I watched it fade Ooh, every promise frayed Ooh, you wore that tender smile While you poisoned me in style Love is a lie Love is a lie (sha-la-la) it bites, it bites Love is a lie Love is a lie (lie, lie) and I survived You sang sweet like Sunday rain Then you fed me rust and blame Every vow was cheap perfume Blooming death inside the room I wore your ring like a chain Smiling through the taste of pain Now I spit your pretty charms Hear the thunder in my arms Ooh, you let me crack Ooh, I want my time back Ooh, your tender disguise Was a knife in a lullaby Love is a lie Love is a lie (sha-la-la) it bites, it bites Love is a lie Love is a lie (lie, lie) and I survived Kiss by kiss, I fed the flame Piece by piece, I lost my name Now the dark can have your throne I am leaving you alone Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh No more sweet deceit Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I stand on my own feet Love is a lie Love is a lie (sha-la-la) it bites, it bites Love is a lie Love is a lie (lie, lie) and I survived Love is a lie Love is a lie (sha-la-la) I lived, I live
