Lie awake in bed at night
And think about your life
Do you want to be different
Try to let go of the truth
The battles of your youth
Cause this is just a game

[Chorus:]
It's a beautiful lie
It's a perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful
That makes me

It's time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last
Hide behind an empty face
that has too much to say
Cause this is just a game

Everyone's lookin' at me
I'm running around in circles...
A quiet desperation's building higher
I've got to remember this is just a game

So beautiful, beautiful,
It's a beautiful lie
