[Verse 1]
We get what we wanted, we take it for granted
The second it starts to go our way
It's harder to see it the further you dive in
No matter how hard you try
[Pre-Chorus]
My head says no chance, but my body's tryin' to dance
For you like I used to do
All my best-laid plans, I just wanted us to last
Tried to understand as you let go of my hand
[Chorus]
What a beautiful lie you told
What a wonderful dream you sold
Now all I can do is watch it fall to the ground
All I do is keep clinging on
Tell myself that I should've known
What a perfect, was it worth it? Beautiful lie you told
Beautiful lie you told
Beautiful lie you told
Beautiful lie you told
[Verse 2]
Hope you keep my secrets, got no room for regrets
No need for a misty-eyed goodbye
I'll keep the heartache, the last thing that you gave
The part of us that never dies
[Pre-Chorus]
My head says no chance, but my body's tryin' to dance
For you like I used to do
All my best-laid plans, I just wanted us to last
Guess I'll never understand why you let go of my hand
[Chorus]
What a beautiful lie you told
What a wonderful dream you sold
Now all I can do is watch it fall to the ground
All I do is keep clinging on
Tell myself that I should've known
What a perfect, was it worth it? Beautiful lie you told
Beautiful lie you told
Beautiful lie you told
Beautiful lie you told
[Pre-Chorus]
My best-laid plans, I just wanted us to last
Tried to understand as you let go of my hand
[Chorus]
What a beautiful lie you told
What a wonderful dream you sold
Now all I can do is watch it fall to the ground
All I do is keep clinging on
Tell myself that I should've known
What a perfect, was it worth it? Beautiful lie you told
Beautiful lie you told
Beautiful lie you told
Beautiful lie you told

I wanted the video to look glamorous and relaxing until it zooms out – like when you post an Instagram photo in the sea and everyone thinks your somewhere expensive and far away but actually you’re in fucking Dover. The video starts off with me relaxing and having a little sip on my blue lagoon – be...
I wrote this song originally after a friend of mine got cheated on. They said how at least when they were being lied to they were happy, and it got me thinking about all the beautiful lies we tell ourselves and get told when we grow up that don’t end up coming true.
It felt like a song I really nee...
