Pretty Lies – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

It's my wasted feelings, I know

But I'll be alright

Wait 'til the ceiling implodes

Let's see who survives

When you say that you're tryin'

I know that you're lyin'

You're still

Beautiful

Beautiful, oh-oh

Beautiful

Beautiful, oh-oh

Trippin' off the mess I made at this

I'm sorry that I made you wait so long, but

Here's the thing about relationships

You only miss them when they're dead and gone

I know I'm someone that you used to know

Easier to go and keep me close

You're my drug and I'm an overdose

Know I gotta let you go, again

When you say that you're tryin'

I know that you're lyin'

You're still

And, and it's your pretty lies

Make me feel like it's fine

'Cause you look

Beautiful

Beautiful, oh-oh

Beautiful

Beautiful, oh-oh

...
