Perfect Lie
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.
Burn like a cigarette
Hole inside my head
Reminding me not to forget
Words, words I'd never say
Things along the way
Like telling me that I'm the best
Look at your face
It doesn't look like it did
You give away
Everything now that you've hid
You, you wanted me only
To never be lonely
So you opened your arms and took me in
But this is our last goodbye
This is a perfect lie
Told by someone that I used to know back then
Help, help is on the way
That's what they all say
But the thing that they don't know
Is I know everything
And maybe it's just a ring
But help won't make me let it go
Look at your face
It doesn't look like it did
You give away
Everything that you one hid
You, you wanted me only
To never be lonely
So you opened your arms and let me in
But this is our last goodbye
This is a perfect lie
Told by someone that I used to know back then
Look at your face
It doesn't look like it did
You hide your love that you're not
Willing now to give
Willing now to give
You, you wanted me only
To never be lonely
So you opened your arms and took me in
But this is our last goodbye
This is a perfect lie
Told by someone that I used to know back then
And this is the last goodbye
And this is the final lie
That I never have to hear that voice again
