Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She said "baby it's fine," with a smile so sweet,
But the words felt hollow, like a lie on repeat.
I could taste the sugar, but it poisoned the vein,
Kept me coming back for the beautiful pain.
I was hooked on the high of her candy-coated game,
But the crash came hard, left me screaming her name.
No more playing pretend in this twisted charade,
Give me the knife of the truth, let the healing cascade.
[Pre-Chorus ]
The sweet lie's a chain, the bitter truth's the key,
Cut me open baby, set the real me free…
[Chorus]
Bitter truth baby, better than the sweet lie,
Bitter truth baby, makes me feel alive.
Bitter truth baby, cut me to the bone,
I'd rather bleed real than die alone.
Bitter truth… bitter truth… baby!
Better than your sweet lie every day!
[Guitar riff interlude]
[Verse 2 ]
We danced in the dark with the lights turned low,
Your whispers like honey, but the poison would show.
I ignored the signs, chased the high of your kiss,
But the truth hit hard like a slap on the wrist.
No more fairy tales, no more pretty disguise,
The bitter pill's the one that opens my eyes.
I'd take the fire, the storm, the rain,
Over the sugar that drives me insane.
[Pre-Chorus]
The sweet lie's a chain, the bitter truth's the key,
Cut me open baby, set the real me free…
[Chorus]
Bitter truth baby, better than the sweet lie,
Bitter truth baby, makes me feel alive.
Bitter truth baby, cut me to the bone,
I'd rather bleed real than die alone.
Bitter truth… bitter truth… baby!
Better than your sweet lie every day!
[Bridge – slower, introspective + bass groove]
Oh… in the quiet when the high wears off,
I see the damage from the lies we bought.
No more running from the mirror's glare,
The truth is ugly, but it's always there…
[Guitar solo]
[Final Chorus]
Bitter truth baby! Better than the sweet lie!
Bitter truth baby! Makes me feel alive!
Bitter truth baby! Cut me to the bone!
I'd rather bleed real than die alone!
Bitter truth… bitter truth… baby!
Better than your sweet lie every day!
[Outro]
Bitter truth baby…
Feel alive…
Bitter truth… yeah…
Every day…
