What A Lie Looks Like Lyrics - Singles - Griffin Anthony

First night we met you tried to play the part to bring me home 

Just a conquest 

I should have known 

In you came a-barreling like a steam train 

Like a lit match to a gas main 

Sinking through a focused lens 

You were a fantasy 

Just like pretend 

Playing to your guarantee 

Convinced you saw 

A life with me 

So this is what a lie looks like 

This is how it feels 

So this is what a lie looks like 

Hold it in your hands 

All those flags so red you draped around my feet 

Piled high to plan for your retreat 

Off you went 

Made the choice to leave 

Said it was done 

Like it didn't count 

Like it never was 

I bought in 

As you withdrew 

'Sure you're back to a life of one-night stands you're used to 

Wait in time 

You're gonna like him 

He'll pull away 

Leaving you to see 

You'll say 

CHORUS
