Gary Holliday - Vanilla Lies Lyrics

In the beginning
It was sweet
Like sugar on my tongue
Such a treat
He spoke words so smooth
So sincere
But little did I know
They were just veneer

Every smile
Every touch
Oh so divine
But those vanilla lies
They crept up behind
Whispering in to my ear
Like a whispered breeze
Slowly poisoning what
Where we used to believe

Vanilla lies
Dressed in sugar and spice
But deep inside
They're tearing us apart like ice
Oh,
Vanilla lies

Vanilla lies
They're the hardest to see
But now I know
They're what broke you and me

I gave my heart
Thought it was true
But those white lies
Started cracking through
In the silence
In the fights
I could feel the chill
Of those vanilla lies

The sweetness turned sour
In the dead of the night
I saw the truth unfold
In the harsh morning light
Those vanilla lies
They seemed so benign
But now I see, honey
It was just a design

Vanilla lies
Dressed in sugar and spice
But deep inside
They're tearing us apart like ice
Oh,
Vanilla lies

Vanilla lies
They're the hardest to see
But now I know
They're what broke you and me

I'll find my truth
In a world without disguise
No more falling for
Those vanilla lies

I'll rise above
In the morning light
No more shadows
No more night
Vanilla lies
Won't hold me down
I'm reclaiming my heart
I won't wear your crown
