Chayce Beckham Glitter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We looked the part, we memorized the lines
We made it look easy, we did it all the time
Just playin' along until the spotlight was gone
'Cause you can only fake it so long

[Chorus]
You can't water silk flowers and expect them to grow
Or pretend it's a diamond when it's a rhinestone
Yeah, we made it look perfect like a magazine cover
Shine bright for the picture, but not for each other
The love wasn't real, the kiss was for show
Baby, it was only glitter, but it was never gold
[Verse 2]
Well, some satellites are mistaken for stars
Like some people wish they had a love like ours
'Cause it looked good on paper until the page turned
We found out we couldn't be who we were actin' like we were [Chorus]
You can't water silk flowers and expect them to grow
Or pretend it's a diamond when it's a rhinestone
Yeah, we made it look perfect like a magazine cover
Shine bright for the picture, but not for each other
The love wasn't real, the kiss was for show
Baby, it was only glitter, but it was never gold

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You can't water silk flowers and expect them to grow
Or pretend it's a diamond when it's a rhinestone
Yeah, we made it look perfect like a magazine cover
Shine bright for the picture, but not for each other
The love wasn't real, the kiss was for show
Baby, it was only glitter, but it was never gold
