You're touch ignites a flame
That burns through my vacant veins
I'm desperate to feel something, anything
Besides this hollowing pain
So lie to me, pretend we're more
Than of what came before
Even though we both know the truth
That these moments are borrowed
What we have is an illusion
To escape the heartache we've swallowed
So give me your fiction
Your beautiful lie
Make me believe I'm alive
If only for a little while
So tell me the lie I'm longing to buy
Paint me a pretty perception
Distract me from this harsh reality
With your temporary affection
The morning light will break
The spell we've chosen to cast
I'll be left again with the taste
Of hearts that never last
So tonight, just pretend
I know I should resist
This toxic siren's call
That lures me back to you
Despite knowing it's all gonna fall
But I'm powerless against the numbness
That slowly turns me to stone
So use me, abuse me
With glimpses of closeness
At least I'll feel something for once
So lie to me, romantically
Give me poison, poisefully
I'll drink every drop to survive
Even though we both know the truth
That these moments are borrowed
What we have is an illusion
To escape the heartache we've swallowed
So give me your fiction
Your beautiful lie
Make me believe I'm alive
If only for a little while
Just pretend, pretend with me tonight
