(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.
