Lying to the Mirror - Gabrielle Aplin

Can we believe all that we read, all that we tell you?

What you perceive to be the truth and what is real

Leaving you scraping at the bottom of the barrel

Nothing is broken or forgotten, that’s the deal

And all your monsters in the night, they come to life

So you embrace them in the hope that you’ll survive

Intoxicated by the fear and the flame

There’s paranoia in your veins

We’re all lying to the mirror

Lying to ourselves

Hiding in the glitter

Lying to the mirror

It is the beauty of our flaws that will define us

So don’t hold on to all the things you never had

Just remember, we’re the good, the bad, the lovely

It is the sanity of life that makes us mad

So when the pain of your mistakes keeps you awake

And all your skeletons rattle in their chains

Intoxicated by the fear and the flame

There’s paranoia in your veins

We’re all lying to the mirror

Lying to ourselves

Hiding in the glitter

Lying to the mirror, oh

Who you are is what you are

And what you are is beautiful

Who you are is what you are

And what you are is beautiful

We’re all lying to the mirror

Lying to ourselves

Hiding in the glitter

Lying to

We’re all lying to the mirror

Lying to ourselves

Hiding in the glitter

Lying to the mirror
