I Knew That Her Face Was A Lie Lyrics

when i was young
i saw a couple make love
on a french tv
their hearts were an ocean
of need
their height made my nose bleed
and i wished it were me
their faces could split down the middle
and be the same

and i heard disney strings that took them to a place
that i didn't recognise
red moons and crowded skies
a sight for my curious eyes
i saw butterflies
that flew out of her mouth
when she kissed
she stretched out her arms as if
to touch the sky
she called out to god

i knew her face was a lie
still i believed it was true

and i'm older now
but i still make the same mistakes
my eyes closed, my shoulders shake
i'm falling for rubes and flakes still i give and take
for beauty and words that say nothing
about you
about you

her eyes crossed and she scowled, she had no choice
she called out to god
i knew her face was a lie
still i believed it was true

and i loved her
and i made love to her
and i took home the feeling that

i've been cheated somehow
still i believed it was true
it was true
it was true
der der de re rer, der rer rer

and i'm happy to be
in the single bed on my own
yes i'm happy to be in the single bed on my own
and i'm happy to be
yes i'm happy to be
in the single bed
on my own
on my own
