False Art

Lyrics

I've been sleeping late
 And if I'm speaking honestly
 My dreams are the only place
 The thought of you can't bother me
 And when I'm wide awake
 It takes all of my energy
 To tell our friends we've never been this happy
 Waiting for the glass house to come down
 Waiting to hear that crashing sound
 Waiting for the right words to tell you how
 I don't wanna be false art
 Pretend we're picture perfect
 When we're breaking beneath the surface
 I don't wanna be false art
 Make love like we deserve it
 To cover up what's hurting
 I don't wanna be false art
 ♪
 ♪
 I've been making shit up
 But I'll come clean
 I finish in the bathroom
 While you fall asleep without me
 And our friends, they say they want this
 But they don't see
 That it's inevitable
 And inevitably
 The glass house to come down
 Just waiting to hear that crashing sound
 Waiting for the right words to tell you how
 I don't wanna be false art
 Pretend we're picture perfect
 When we're breaking beneath the surface
 I don't wanna be false art
 Make love like we deserve it
 To cover up what's hurting
 I don't wanna be false art
 ♪
 I call it love when it isn't
 I just like my picture better with you in it
 I don't wanna be false art
 Pretend we're picture perfect
 When we're breaking beneath the surface
 I don't wanna be false art
 Make love like we deserve it
 To cover up what's hurting
 I don't wanna be false art
 I don't wanna be false art
 
 I've been sleeping late
 And if I'm speaking honestly
 My dreams are the only place
 The thought of you can't bother me

 Waiting for the glass house to come down
 Waiting to hear that crashing sound
 Waiting for the right words to tell you how
