The diamonds in your eyes reflect the flame
You whisper my desire you speak my name
We dance upon a razor's edge tonight
Bathed in the glow of pale casino light
You built a world for me of silk and trust
But underneath it all I feel the rust
A perfect picture hung a little high
The flawless surface of a beautiful lie
And I know the price the sacrifice
To live within your gilded paradise
I feel the chill of your goodbye
In every single touch in every sigh
There's no escape no alibi
From the intoxicating truth of a beautiful lie
I've learned to read the secrets you conceal
Behind the careful words the way you feel
The subtle shift a shadow in your glance
The dying embers of a doomed romance
You play the hero of this grand design
But I know every treacherous fatal line
The stage is set the tragedy is near
And I'm the only one who sheds no tear
'Cause I know the price the sacrifice
To live within your gilded paradise
I feel the chill of your goodbye
In every single touch in every sigh
There's no escape no alibi
From the intoxicating truth of a beautiful lie
Maybe I was born to play this part
To let you win my trust and break my heart
But two can play this dangerous game you'll see
The final move belongs to me
It belongs to me
I knew the price the sacrifice
To burn within your gilded paradise
I felt the chill of your goodbye
In every single touch in every lie
There's no escape no alibi
From the intoxicating truth of a beautiful lie
A beautiful lie
The world is not enough for this lie
A beautiful lie
It's all a beautiful lie
