(Verse 1)

City lights blur through the rain-streaked glass

Another late night, another day that passed

Scrolling through faces, perfect and bright

Wishing for a spark in the lonely night

(Pre-Chorus)

My heart's a desert, cracked and dry

Thirsty for a drop from a painted sky

I know the mirage will fade away

But for a moment, I just need to stay

(Chorus)

Lie dear, beautiful, tell me what I crave

Whisper sweet nothings, the kindness that I save

For a rainy day, when the world turns cold

Lie dear, beautiful, a story to be told

Even if it's fake, even if it's wrong

Your gentle words make me feel strong

Lie dear, beautiful, just for a little while

Let me believe in your enchanting smile

(Verse 2)

People rush by, lost in their own worlds

Headphones on, their stories unfurled

I see the longing in their weary eyes

The same hunger hidden in my disguise

(Pre-Chorus)

We build our walls so high and strong

Afraid to admit where we went wrong

But underneath the hardened shell

A fragile heart begins to swell

(Chorus)

Lie dear, beautiful, tell me what I crave

Whisper sweet nothings, the kindness that I save

For a rainy day, when the world turns cold

Lie dear, beautiful, a story to be told

Even if it's fake, even if it's wrong

Your gentle words make me feel strong

Lie dear, beautiful, just for a little while

Let me believe in your enchanting smile

(Bridge)

Maybe the truth is overrated

Maybe a little fiction is fated

To mend the cracks within our souls

And fill the empty, hollow holes

(Chorus)

Lie dear, beautiful, tell me what I crave

Whisper sweet nothings, the kindness that I save

For a rainy day, when the world turns cold

Lie dear, beautiful, a story to be told

Even if it's fake, even if it's wrong

Your gentle words make me feel strong

Lie dear, beautiful, just for a little while

Let me believe in your enchanting smile

(Outro)

Lie dear, beautiful, one last time

Let your sweet words intertwine

With the fragile hope I hold inside

Lie dear, beautiful, until the tide

Turns and washes all the pain away

Lie dear, beautiful, just for today.
