All the Pretty Faces

She said: "you're such a sweet, sweet liar" But I could never lie to you These words I say are born from desire My every sentiment is nothing but true And every time I seem to start a fire (in your eyes) It loses to the ice of your heart But tell me, darling, aren't you tired? Of playing hard to get, you've mastered the art And all the pretty faces that they suggest Fail to impress me, I don't want second best It's everything or nothing, glory or death 'Cause you're the only one that I need to have She took my hand and she gave me scars "Now you'll remember me forever" But can't you see I won't forget the one Who turned to hell what once was heaven But lesson's learnt, and burnt on your fire I realised how I was wrong Cause even though you called me the liar You've lied to me all along
