Beautiful Lie Lyrics

Tell me, was it Thursday at 2?
Tell me, was that when you knew? I did too 'cause
there's no subtle grace in face plants and sadly
you've been busy dropping hints and I've been tripping over them.

I'd like to say I didn't notice.
Yeah, it's be nice if it'd gone just like I wrote it.
Maybe now I'd do it different but back then
I had to try. I ran right off the edge, I thought that I could fly.

And it has been a beautiful lie; a beautiful lie.
It took me in. It kept me warm; it kept me dry.
Now I know why. 'Cause in betwen the moth and the light
it's so beautiful.

I'm leaving you this tiara.
It's a fake; besides it's too hard to wear them.
But the way they shine is so fine.
Do you mind if I keep a piece of it? I'd rather not get over this.

And it has been a beautiful lie; a beautiful lie.
It took me in. It kept me warm; it kept me dry.
Now I know why. 'Cause in between the moth and the light
it's so beautiful.

Maybe it's high time that I should have known.
But if you don't mind I'll skip the blow by blow.
And thought it's been good as distractions go
I just might think twice if you'd throw me a rope.

'Cause it has been a beautiful lie, a beautiful lie.
It took me in. It kept me warm; it kept me dry.
Now I know why. 'Cause in between the moth and light
it's so beautiful.
