[Verse 1]
The masquerade is over now
It's a tragicomedy
Be careful with your lies
They might end up leaving you lonely

[Pre-Chorus]
Your words were never holy
A hollow testimony
I know you're never sorry
All I say is

[Chorus]
I've been reading up on people like you
And why they're falling for people like me
Sharpen your knife, yeah, baby, that's cool
The blood is on your hands
You make me cry, you make me dance
The only truth I've known (Only truth I've known)
I'm the lover in your show
Your puppet show

[Verse 2]
Am I looking in the mirror
Or looking out the window?
Your strings attached around my hands
Never anymore than strangers
[Pre-Chorus]
I guess I missed the warning
Reality distorted
The way that you control it
All I say is

[Chorus]
I've been reading up on people like you
And why they're falling for people like me
Sharpen your knife, yeah, baby, that's cool
The blood is on your hands (Blood is on your hands)
You make me cry, you make me dance
The only truth I've known (Only truth I've known)
I'm the lover in your show
Your puppet show

[Bridge]
Your lips like razor blades
Truth burning in the shade
This crazy world you made
It's such a dangerous place
The memory slowly fades
Took one step to escape

[Chorus]
I've been reading up on people like you
And why they're falling for people like me
Sharpen your knife, yeah, baby, that's cool
The blood is on your hands (Blood is on your hands)
You make me cry, you make me dance
The only truth I've known (Only truth I've known)
I'm the lover in your show
Your puppet show
