You paint a picture of paradise
The colours shine and sparkle
You say you want me but don't think twice
You're caught in a vicious circle
While I was wishing for what could have been
I was blinded, taken in
You build a world by promising with empty words
Wrapped in glitter and gold
Were the lies you told me
That won't go away
Don't try to pretend
We can turn around and start it all again
Glitter and gold
There's no happy ending
Cause this is goodbye
The truth is too late
Only takes so much before my heart will break
And now it's too late
It's funny how the sweetest lies
Pass through your lips like candy
Another trick a new disguise
Another tale to tell me
I've heard all the stories that you use
All the lines and broken truths
You'd make a fool believe in you with empty words
Wrapped in glitter and gold
Were the lies you told me
That won't go away
Don't try to pretend
We can turn around and start it all again
Glitter and gold
There's no happy ending
Cause this is goodbye
The truth is too late
Only takes so much before my heart will break
And now it's too late
It's too late
And now it's too late
It's too late
Glitter and gold
Glitter and gold
There's no happy ending
Cause this is goodbye
The truth is too late
Only takes so much before my heart will break
Wrapped in glitter and gold
Were the lies you told me
That won't go away
Don't try to pretend
We can turn around and start it all again
Glitter and gold
There's no happy ending
Cause this is goodbye
The truth is too late
Only takes so much before my heart will break
And now it's too late
