Lips That Lied

Verse 1
I saw the way you looked at me
Like I was still your favorite dream
But dreams don’t bleed, and hearts don’t mend
When love is just pretend
You whispered promises in the dark
Lit a fire, then left a mark
Now every word you said feels cold
Like silver turned to mold
Chorus
Don’t kiss me when your lips have lied to me
Don’t touch me like you still believe
I’m not the fool I used to be
So don’t kiss me—don’t kiss me
When your lips have lied to me
Verse 2
You wore your guilt like Sunday clothes
Pressed and clean, but everyone knows
Truth can’t hide behind perfume
It lingers in the room
I gave you grace, I gave you time
You gave me riddles dressed as rhyme
But I won’t dance to your deceit
I’ve found my own heartbeat
Chorus
Don’t kiss me when your lips have lied to me
Don’t touch me like you still believe
I’m not the fool I used to be
So don’t kiss me—don’t kiss me
When your lips have lied to me
Bridge
I’d rather walk alone than sleep beside
A love that’s built on alibis
You had your chance, you made your choice
Now I raise my voice
Final Chorus
Don’t kiss me when your lips have lied to me
Don’t touch me like you still believe
I’m not the fool I used to be
So don’t kiss me—don’t kiss me
When your lips have lied to me
Outro
No more lies behind your smile
I’m done with love that’s out of style
Don’t kiss me—don’t kiss me
When your lips have lied to me
