"Beautiful Lie"

A calming melody, a peaceful squeeze

A beautiful lie, a gentle deceit

A soothing phrase, a comforting cheat

It wraps around my heart, a warm embrace

A fleeting solace, a temporary space

It whispers sweet nothings, a gentle breeze

A calming melody, a peaceful squeeze

It numbs the pain, a temporary high

A beautiful lie, a passing sigh

But like a mirage, it vanishes in air

Leaving me dry, with nothing to spare

The truth creeps in, a harsh reality

A beautiful lie, a painful clarity

I'm left to face, the truth I've denied

And find my strength, in a heart that's tried.

And learn to love, the beauty in the truth.
