No matter what I say
Just matters what I'm looking for
It's never what I want
But always what I'm betting on
And you swallow everything I say, unwise
And I wonder
How a lie can make me feel so fine
You gotta trust me when I lie to you
And never trust me if I say I love you
I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know why you're my favorite lie
You better love me until I love you too
And never trust me to be just for you
Now I know why, now I know why
Now I know why you're my favorite lie
Ain't nothing but a whim
And I keep taking what I want
A masquerade of words
A secret I keep carrying on
And you fall for
Every blatant promise I make
And I smile 'cuz
It's a lie that keeps you up all night
You gotta trust me when I lie to you
And never trust me if I say I love you
I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know why you're my favorite lie
You better love me until I love you too
And never trust me to be just for you
Now I know why, now I know why
Now I know why you're my favorite lie
I'm only human after all
Imperfect human in this world
You're the most beautiful mistake I will die for
A secret made of blood and gold
My love's a fantasy to hold
I'm the most terrible mistake
You will long for
You gotta trust me when I lie to you
And never trust me if I say I love you
I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know why you're my favorite lie
You better love me until I love you too
And never trust me to be just for you
Now I know why, now I know why
Now I know why you're my favorite lie
