Ben Kessler & Lizzy McAlpine
False Art
[Verse 1: Ben Kessler]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Ben Kessler]
Waiting for the glass house to come down
Waiting to hear that crashing sound
Waiting for the right words to tell you how

[Chorus: Ben Kessler]
I don't wanna be false art
Pretend we're picture perfect
When we're breaking beneath the surface, mmm
I don't wanna be false art
Make love like we deserve it
To cover up what's hurting, hey
I don't wanna be false art

[Verse 2: Lizzy McAlpine]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Lizzy McAlpine]
The glass house will come down
Just waiting to hear that crashing sound
Waiting for the right words to tell you how

[Chorus: Both, Ben Kessler & Lizzy McAlpine]
I don't wanna be false art
Pretend we're picture perfect
When we're breaking beneath the surface (Oh)
I don't wanna be false art
Make love like we deserve it
To cover up what's hurting, hey (Hey)
I don't wanna be false art

[Bridge: Ben Kessler & Lizzy McAlpine]
I call it love when it isn't
I just like my picture better with you in it

[Chorus: Ben Kessler, Lizzy McAlpine & Both]
I don't wanna be false art
Pretend we're picture perfect
When we're breaking beneath the surface, mmm
Oh, I don't wanna be false art
Make love like we deserve it
To cover up what's hurting, oh
I don't wanna be false art
I don't wanna be false art
