Glitter

We looked the part

Memorized the lines

Made it look easy

We did it all the time

Just playin' along

Until the spotlight was gone

Cause you can only fake it so long

You can't water silk flowers

And expect them to grow

Or pretend it's a diamond

When it's a rhinestone

Yeah we made it look perfect

Like a magazine cover

Shine bright for the picture

But not for each other

The love wasn't real

The kiss was for show

Baby it was only glitter

But it was never gold

Some satellites are mistaken for stars

Like some people wish they had a love like ours

Cause it looked good on paper

Until the page turned

We found out we couldn't be

Who we were acting like we were

You can't water silk flowers

And expect them to grow

Or pretend it's a diamond

When it's a rhinestone

Yeah we made it look perfect

Like a magazine cover

Shine bright for the picture

But not for each other

The love wasn't real

The kiss was for show

Baby it was only glitter

But it was never gold

You can't water silk flowers

And expect them to grow

Or pretend it's a diamond

When it's a rhinestone

Yeah we made it look perfect

Like a magazine cover

Shine bright for the picture

But not for each other

The love wasn't real

The kiss was for show

Baby it was only glitter

But it was never gold
