Beautiful Liars

You said you were alone
I said I didn't care
We both edited the truth
Just enough to keep us there
Red flags on the floor
Next to last night's clothes
We keep turning off the light
So the cracks don't show

Who are we trying to protect?
Each other or ourselves?
Every story that we bend
Still pulls us back to hell

We're beautiful liars
Kissing in the crossfire
Saying: This is the last time
As we slide in deeper
We're beautiful liars
Burning on a thin wire
If love is a crime
Then
Baby we're the dealers (oh)
We're beautiful liars
Beautiful liars

You're scrolling face down
I'm scrolling face up
Both of us pretending
We don't really give a fuck
You say I'm your only
I say you're my home
Funny how we feel less
Every time we're close

Tell me
Do you practice too?
That look in your eyes
I could leave
You could leave
But we love this disguise

We're beautiful liars
Kissing in the crossfire
Saying this is the last time
As we slide in deeper
We're beautiful liars
Burning on a thin wire
If love is a crime
Then
Baby we're the dealers (yeah)
We're beautiful liars
Beautiful liars

Maybe we're broken in the same way
Maybe that's why we still stay
Every promise painted blue
But somehow I still choose you (choose you)
If the truth ever hits too hard
We'll just rewrite who we are
Call it wrong
Call it art
Call it two scared
Tangled hearts

We're beautiful liars
Kissing in the crossfire
Saying this is the last time
As we slide in deeper
We're beautiful liars
Burning on a thin wire
If love is a crime
Then
Baby we're the dealers (oh)
We're beautiful liars
Beautiful liars
