[Verse 1] I wear the wrong name On the right face Smile like a secret Folded in lace Rooms full of mirrors Ask who I am Every reflection Answers “I can” [Chorus] Little lie Little lullaby Tuck me in that painted sky I change my mask at every door And call it staying true We’re all cards in a house of hands Bluffing like we understand If I pretend I don’t pretend Will you believe it too? [Verse 2] Shake hands with shadows Call them my friends Trade quiet favors In sideways glances Tongues tied in ribbons Around the truth We wrap it pretty Sell it as proof [Chorus] Little lie Little lullaby Tuck me in that painted sky I change my mask at every door And call it staying true We’re all cards in a house of hands Bluffing like we understand If I pretend I don’t pretend Will you believe it too? [Bridge] I keep my heartbeat Inside my sleeve (shh) Show you the costume Never the sleeve Walk on the ceiling Call it the floor If you don’t question I’ll give you more [Chorus] Little lie Little lullaby Tuck me in that painted sky I change my mask at every door And call it staying true We’re all cards in a house of hands Bluffing like we understand If I pretend I don’t pretend Will you believe it too?
