Lyrics
[Verse 1]
See my way, I'm the fortune teller
Picked up from earth two fallen feathers
These desperate stars are guiding me to better
My heart and soul, I wanted you forever
Holding hope in my hands, slips out like the desert sand
Like the signs that were binding us together
[Chorus]
The truth, the truth, the ugly truth, let me live inside my pretty lie
I lose, I lose for loving you, in the darkness, all I'd do to make you mine
[Instrumental]
Throwing rose petals in your direction
Warped and betrayed for your affection, uh
Lighting candles at the shrine, crying out to the divine
A lovers' spell longing for resurrection
[Chorus]
The truth, the truth, the ugly truth, let me live inside my pretty lies
I lose, I lose for loving you, in the darkness, all I'd do to make you mine
Ooh, to make you mine
[Instrumental]
Long-gone lover left a note upon my door
Now the ghost that wanders through my house don't want me anymore
Words now spread across my walls like ashes on the floor
Fateful revelations that I never could ignore
I can't call no priest and witches, cut the rope and dig the ditches, kill my love
Screaming in the ether, my devotion like a fever, kill my love
I once believed the fantasy, so helpless to your pull
So rest in peace the memory, you're not safe for my soul
Drive a nail in the coffin now before I lose control
Put this lover six feet down and let the bones grow cold
And put my heart back in a box and draw a circle in the salt, then kill my love
You took me to the edge and pushed me from our sacred ledge and killed my love
[Instrumental]
See my way, I'm the fortune teller
See my way, I'm the fortune teller
The truth, the truth, the ugly truth, let me live inside my pretty lie
I lose, I lose for loving you, in the darkness, all I'd do to make you mine
