sweet lies

We tell sweet lies, fooling one another
We gain a fake upper hand
We get outsmarted when we rediscover
We underplay

You took me in, I never minded
You broke the rules
I saw through you then

What a surprise when we turn into lovers
The tables turn on us
All those sweet lies tear away the covers

And now I know not to underestimate
What hearts can do
You keep an eye on me, I'll keep an eye on you

You took me in, I never minded
You broke the rules
I saw through you then

What a surprise when we turn into lovers
We never guessed it could be
All those sweet lies tear away the covers
The tables turn...
