The Smile That Lies

Verse 1
You smile like you’re saving me
Like you’re everything I need
But every word you carefully choose
Leaves me with another bruise

You say it’s love, you say it’s care
But control is hiding there
Every compliment you give
Has a hook beneath the lid

Pre-Chorus
You build me up to watch me fall
So you can say you knew it all

Chorus
That’s the smile that lies so well
A heaven painted over hell
Sweetest words with sharpest knives
Hidden in your perfect lines

You pull the strings, I play the part
Like a puppet with a heart
But every mask you try to wear
Shows the darkness hiding there

Verse 2
You turn the truth into a game
Where somehow I’m the one to blame
Every story that you tell
Paints you innocent so well

Bridge
But shadows break when light appears
And truth is louder than your fears

Final Chorus
So keep your smile made of lies
I can finally see the disguise
