Lyrics
Sweet Lies
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We tell sweet lies, fooling one another
We gain a fake upper hand
We get outsmarted when we rediscover
We underplay
You took me in, I never minded
You broke the rules
I saw through you then
What a surprise when we turn into lovers
The tables turn on us
All those sweet lies tear away the covers
And now I know not to underestimate
What hearts can do
You keep an eye on me, I'll keep an eye on you
You took me in, I never minded
You broke the rules
I saw through you then
What a surprise when we turn into lovers
We never guessed it could be
All those sweet lies tear away the covers
The tables turn...
