Lyrics

Met her out past the county line
July heat and a neon sign
Laugh came easy, eyes like glass
Like she knew things from a broken past
Said she ain't the kind that stays too long
But she leaned in when her song came on
Had me thinkin' maybe this time's right
Didn't see the storm behind those eyes
She was pretty when she lied to me
Said forever like it meant somethin
Had me hangin' on every word
Like a fool chasin' a burnin' sun
Yeah I should've known what I couldn't see
But I let her get the best of me
She was everything I wanted her to be
And she was pretty when she lied to me
Phone face down, sayin"don't read in"
Gone all night, then she walks back in
Says I worry, says I overthink
But the truth don't hide, and it sure don't blink
Heard a name in a half-asleep call
Saw a shadow on the hallway wall
That's the moment somethin' turned cold
Love don't stay when the cracks unfold
She was pretty when she lied to me
Said forever like it meant somethin
Had me hangin' on every word
Like a fool chasin' a burnin' sun
Yeah I should've known what I couldn't see
But I let her get the best of me
She was everything I wanted her to be
And she was pretty when she lied to me
Now the porch light buzzin' in the dark
Keys no longer hanging by the door
Got a Half-packed bag, half a tank of gas
She ain't comin' back here anymore
I could call, I could let it go
I could tell all the things I know
But some lines you don't come back from
Once you cross 'em, they're done
Yeah there's a line 'tween love and hate
And I damn near crossed it yesterday
But I ain't that man, I walked away
Let the silence take her place
She was pretty when she lied to me
Now I see it for what it was
Just a ghost in a cheap motel
Tryin' to feel like she was enough
Yeah I burned every memory
Left the thoughts where they need to be
She was everything I couldn't keep
And she was pretty when she lied to me
Yeah she was pretty when she lied
Just not pretty when she left me behind
