Perfect Lie

Everybody makes mistakes when they are young
I’ve had my chance to learn
Time to move on
Thought of you as more than just a friend
But some stories
Were meant to end
You’re not perfect, you’re not flawless, you’re not beautiful
Though the one thing that was perfect were the lies you told
You’re not perfect, you’re not flawless, you’re not beautiful
No, the one thing that was perfect were the lies you told
And every reason why
Was based on a lie
Every reason why
Was just a lie
Every reason why
Was based on a lie
Just a perfect lie
Took a chance on you, but took a fall
How can I trust again?
Or love at all
Thought of you as someone I could trust
But some games are
Meant to be lost
You’re not perfect, you’re not flawless, you’re not beautiful
Though the one thing that was perfect were the lies you told
You’re not perfect, you’re not flawless, you’re not beautiful
No, the one thing that was perfect were the lies you told
And every reason why
Was based on a lie
Every reason why
Was just a lie
Every reason why
Was based on a lie (on a lie)
Just a perfect lie (just a perfect lie)
