Birdy Beautiful Lies Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Beautiful lies
Cover my eyes with your hands
Just pretend we're better
Turn out the light
There are no more surprises to come
Let's be numb together

[Pre-Chorus]
The world's so fast and nothing lasts
Let's save it while we can

[Chorus]
Cause I want to be forever
Like smoke in the air
Float like a feather going nowhere
Lost in the silence
I don't need to be free
Kill me with kindness
And please

[Verse 2]
Tell me beautiful lies
I wish that I had the strength to let go, but I don't
I'm paralyzed
I see the child in your eyes and I'm stuck in the headlights
[Pre-Chorus]
I know too well that time will tell
It's easy to forget

[Chorus]
Cause I want to be forever
Like smoke in the air
Float like a feather going nowhere
Lost in the silence
I don't need to be free
Kill me with kindness
And please

[Bridge]
Oh, well, I've tried to be open
But I've found it's hard when you're broken
And in the heat of the moment, we're free
So please, please
Please

[Outro]
Tell me beautiful lies
Cover my eyes with your hands
Just pretend we're better
Turn out the light
There are no more surprises to come
Let's be numb together
