“A Beautiful Lie” by 30 Seconds to Mars

Here are some memorable lyrics:

Everyone's looking at me I'm running around in circles, baby A quiet desperation's building higher I've got to remember this is just a game

LYRICS

“A Beautiful Lie” by 30 Seconds to Mars

Lie awake in bed at night
And think about your life
Do you want to be different?
Try to let go of the truth
The battles of your youth
‘Cause this is just a game[Chorus:]
It’s a beautiful lie
It’s the perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful it makes me

It’s time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last
Hide behind an empty face
Don’t ask too much, just say
‘Cause this is just a game

[Chorus]

(Oh Oh
The end of the world)

Everyone’s looking at me
I’m running around in circles, baby
A quiet desperation’s building higher
I’ve got to remember this is just a game

(So beautiful, beautiful
It’s a beautiful lie
So beautiful, beautiful
It’s a beautiful lie
So beautiful, beautiful…)

[Chorus]
