[Verse 1]
You came in soft
With a sweet little grin
Said you got me
Where you been
Gold in your mouth
Truth in your hand
I read the signs
But I still let you in
Your touch was a promise
Your eyes were a knife
You held me close
Like you knew my life
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see it clear
The smoke in your words
Every kiss had a crack
Every vow got burned
You pulled me in
Then you pulled away
I should've known
What your silence would say
[Chorus]
Pretty lies kill slow
Pretty lies kill slow
You taste like heaven
Then you leave me cold
Pretty lies kill slow
Pretty lies kill slow
I keep on falling
For the thing I know
[Verse 2]
You loved the chase
Not the staying part
Left me dressed in doubt
And a shaken heart
I wore your name
Like a lucky chain
Now it cuts my skin
When I say it again
You spin your web
I step right through
Every thread you tied
Turns black on you
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see it clear
The smoke in your words
Every kiss had a crack
Every vow got burned
You pulled me in
Then you pulled away
I should've known
What your silence would say
[Chorus]
Pretty lies kill slow
Pretty lies kill slow
You taste like heaven
Then you leave me cold
Pretty lies kill slow
Pretty lies kill slow
I keep on falling
For the thing I know
[Bridge]
I don't want your gold
I don't want your shade
I don't want a love
That decays this way
Say what you mean
Or let me go
I survived your sweet
Now I need the real
[Final Chorus]
Pretty lies kill slow
Pretty lies kill slow
You taste like heaven
Then you leave me cold
Pretty lies kill slow
Pretty lies kill slow
I cut the cord
Now I take control
Pretty lies kill slow
Pretty lies kill slow
No more falling
For the thing I know
