We build a bridge and burn it down Just look at us, we're chokin' on the ashes now We shot too high and missed the sky But lucky us, we kissed before we kissed the ground All the pretty peelin' 'Bout to show a blacken memory Constantly concealin' What we'll never be, so Here is the lie you want It tastes much sweeter than the truth we've been hidin' from We bit off more than we could chew Suck the words back down Rip my tongue right out Let's keep pretendin' We'll end up a happy ending A thousand days, a thousand nights No rest for us, we're bracin' for another fight The same charade, don't let it fade We keep it up to keep the people satisfied All the pretty peelin' 'Bout to show a blacken memory Constantly concealin' What we'll never be, so Here is the lie you want It tastes much sweeter than the truth we've been hidin' from We bit off more than we could chew Suck the words back down Rip my tongue right out Let's keep pretendin' We'll end up a happy ending Here is the lie you want It tastes much sweeter than the truth we've been hidin' from We bit off more than we could chew Suck the words back down Rip my tongue right out Let's keep pretendin' We'll end up a happy ending Scars on the stars we chased The constellations on a map that we can't erase I guess we're never turnin' back Take the long way down Watch the lights burn out And keep pretendin' We'll end up a happy ending
