Pretty Lies

[Verse 1] You came back around when the season went cold Same con, new coat, same story retold Led me to the ledge and you called it a pledge Then blamed the whole fall on the girl on the edge [Pre-Chorus] Tell me I'm not writing this all in my head Tell me there's a thread and not just thin air 'Cause the longer I look, the fainter you get A vanishing point I'd still follow to there [Chorus] You handed me your heart like it covered the debt You billed me for love but you paid me in bed Soon as I learn the rules you re-rig the bet So who am I to trust if I can't trust us? Call it paradise call it a pair of lies Swear that I tried but the tide pulled us wide An ocean, a red-eye, an ache I can't hide It's a long way down and a longer way home To the ground where I'd bury this love of my own Call it paradise call it a pair of lies [Verse 2] You swear I came out better for the wear Funny how I came out lighter than I went You never told me wrong you just never told me all And a half-truth still spends like a whole lie (Oh-oh) (Yeah-yeah) [Pre-Chorus] So say it straight, no sugar in the cup Say the quiet part out loud and let it drop This slow burn left my ribs packed full of ash And I'm too tired to keep count, too broke to keep the tab (Oh-oh) (Yeah-yeah) [Bridge] Red-eye, dead-eye, dead of night Bury it deep but the ground won't keep Everything we killed keeps waking up beside me Deeper, deeper still it won't sleep [Chorus] You handed me your heart like it covered the debt You billed me for love but you paid me in bed Soon as I learn the rules you re-rig the bet So who am I to trust if I can't trust us? Call it paradise call it a pair of lies Swear that I tried but the tide pulled us wide An ocean, a red-eye, an ache I can't hide It's a long way down and a longer way home To the ground where I'd bury this love of my own Call it paradise call it a pair of lies [Outro] Call it paradise Call it a pair of lies Call it a pair of dice (Almost, almost) Call it paradise
