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
