Perfect Lie

Everybody makes mistakes when they are young
I've had my chance to learn
Time to move on

Thought of you as more than just a friend
But some stories
Were meant to end

You're not perfect, you're not flawless, you're not beautiful
Though the one thing that was perfect were the lies you told
You're not perfect, you're not flawless, you're not beautiful
No, the one thing that was perfect were the lies you told

And every reason why
Was based on a lie
Every reason why
Was just a lie

Every reason why
Was based on a lie
Just a perfect lie

Took a chance on you, but took a fall
How can I trust again?
Or love at all

Thought of you as someone I could trust
But some games are
Meant to be lost

You're not perfect, you're not flawless, you're not beautiful
Though the one thing that was perfect were the lies you told
You're not perfect, you're not flawless, you're not beautiful
No, the one thing that was perfect were the lies you told

And every reason why
Was based on a lie
Every reason why
Was just a lie

Every reason why
Was based on a lie (on a lie)
Just a perfect lie (just a perfect lie)
