A beautiful lie

Standard

If these words that are spoken

Seem like the fickle clouds in the sky

Losing the soothing shade that they promise

The second they run dry

You know that you can hold on to me

Take a breath in the cool of our beautiful lie

Searching for some unheard miracle

Should that pain ever make your eyes crinkle

If these dreams threaten to not come of age

And this road just seems like an unending mirage

Darling, you know that you can hold on to me

For a moment believe in the truth of our beautiful lie

On the board all these pieces you’ve arranged

Should they ever crumble and fall

God forbid there comes a day when these warm hearts

Just turn cold and estranged

I promise that you can hold on to me

Live those hours in the embrace our beautiful lie
