I lit a candle, put on red

Wrote you lines I’ve never said

Photoshopped a fantasy

Played the girl you hoped I’d be

Lip gloss dreams and filtered skin

You fell hard, I reeled you in

Your “baby” texts, your late-night calls

But I was never her at all

You said I looked like heaven in a screen

But baby, I’m the glitch in your dopamine

I warned you once, in lowercase

But you believed the pretty face

I’m pretty when I lie

Put my halo on with a devil’s smile

Type it out, make you fall

But I was never real at all

Kiss me through the cam, close your eyes

You love the mask, not what’s behind

You want the truth? Say goodbye

’Cause I’m only pretty when I lie

Oh, she’s everything you ever want

Soft voice, perfect font

I gave you love, in pixels laced

But not a trace of me in place

I’m the queen of make-believe

A fairytale in 1080p

You’re in love with smoke and code

But darling, you should’ve known

You said I saved you from the dark

But I was stitching stars into your scars

Don’t blame me for the spell you bought

You fell in love with who I’m not

I’m pretty when I lie

Just a ghost in your digital high

You kissed a name, not a soul

I made you feel, I took control

You loved the show, I played my part

But never promised you my heart

So go ahead, scream and cry—

I’m only pretty when I lie

Delete the chats, erase the trace

But you still dream of that perfect face

She’s gone, I’m here

Too real, too near

Now you know what I always feared…

I’m pretty when I lie

I wear the truth like a cheap disguise

Told you stories, made you swoon

But I was just a midnight moon

Love me fake or leave me raw

You were never ready for my flaws

This is goodbye, no alibi—

I’m only pretty when I lie
