Vanilla Lies

In the beginning It was sweet Like sugar on my tongue Such a treat He spoke words so smooth So sincere But little did I know They were just veneer Every smile Every touch Oh so divine But those vanilla lies They crept up behind Whispering in to my ear Like a whispered breeze Slowly poisoning what Where we used to believe Vanilla lies Dressed in sugar and spice But deep inside They're tearing us apart like ice Oh, Vanilla lies Vanilla lies They're the hardest to see But now I know They're what broke you and me I gave my heart Thought it was true But those white lies Started cracking through In the silence In the fights I could feel the chill Of those vanilla lies The sweetness turned sour In the dead of the night I saw the truth unfold In the harsh morning light Those vanilla lies They seemed so benign But now I see, honey It was just a design Vanilla lies Dressed in sugar and spice But deep inside They're tearing us apart like ice Oh, Vanilla lies Vanilla lies They're the hardest to see But now I know They're what broke you and me I'll find my truth In a world without disguise No more falling for Those vanilla lies I'll rise above In the morning light No more shadows No more night Vanilla lies Won't hold me down I'm reclaiming my heart I won't wear your crown
