A Beautiful Lie
Watch an AMV to this song HERE 
Lie awake in bed at night and
think about your life
do you want to be different
Try to let go of the truth
the battles of your youth
cause this is just a game
It’s a beautiful lie
it’s a perfect denial
such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful beautiful lie it makes me
It’s time to forget about the past
to wash away what happened last
Hide behind an empty face
don’t ask too much the same
cause this is just a game
It’s a beautiful lie
it’s a perfect denial
such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful beautiful lie it makes me
Everyone is looking at me
I’m running round in circles angry
A quiet desperation’s building higher
I’ve got to remember this is just a game
It’s a beautiful lie
it’s a perfect denial
such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful beautiful lie it makes me
