Beautiful Lies - Birdy

Beautiful lies

Cover my eyes with your hands

Just pretend we’re better

Turn out the light

There are no more surprises to come

Let’s be numb together

The world’s so fast and nothing lasts

Let’s save it while we can

'Cause I want to be forever

Like smoke in the air

Float like a feather going nowhere

Lost in the silence

I don’t need to be free

Kill me with kindness

And please

Tell me beautiful lies

I wish that I had the strength to let go, but I don’t

I’m paralyzed

I see the child in your eyes and I’m stuck in the headlights

I know too well that time will tell

It’s easy to forget

'Cause I want to be forever

Like smoke in the air

Float like a feather going nowhere

Lost in the silence

I don’t need to be free

Kill me with kindness

And please

Oh, well, I’ve tried to be open

But I’ve found it’s hard when you’re broken

And in the heat of the moment, we’re free

So please, please

Please

Tell me beautiful lies

Cover my eyes with your hands

Just pretend we’re better

Turn out the light

There are no more surprises to come

Let’s be numb together
