[Verse 1]
Shimmering was she
And loveliness to see
They found her when she was three
Where she lied
We talked within a wave
Of things we could not crave
But circumstance turned grave
That's where she lied

[Chorus]
You told me
You told me you loved life
Don't tell me
Don't tell me you loved life
Don't tell me you loved life

[Verse 2]
I read your book of Rot
And wondered what you thought
As journalists have taught
It pays to lie
The fruit upon a vine
The gun that swallows time
To shimmer in our minds
That's how she lied

[Chorus]
You told me
You told me you loved life
Don't tell me
Don't tell me you loved life
Don't tell me
Don't tell me you loved life
