Lyrics:
Beautiful lies
Cover my eyes with your hands
Just pretend we're better
Turn out the light
There are no more surprises to come
Let's be numb together

The world's so fast and nothing lasts
Let's save it while we can

'Cause I want to be forever
Like smoke in the air
Float like a feather going nowhere
Lost in the silence
I don't need to be free
Kill me with kindness
And please

Tell me beautiful lies
I wish that I had the strength to let go, but I don't
I'm paralysed
I see the child in your eyes, and I'm stuck in the headlights

I know too well that time will tell
It's easy to forget

'Cause I want to be forever
Like smoke in the air
Float like a feather going nowhere
Lost in the silence
I don't need to be free
Kill me with kindness
And please

Oh, well, I've tried to be open
But I've found it's hard when you're broken
And in the heat of the moment, we're free
So please, please
Please

Tell me beautiful lies
Cover my eyes with your hands
Just pretend we're better
Turn out the light
There are no more surprises to come
Let's be numb together

She's an old soul. Her voice makes me think of the ocean on a cloudy day, but not in a sad way. I've missed this.

[katieguberman]

Her voice is amazing because it's actually unique and it sounds so much different then most singers now a days

[piemash]

Jasmine is one of this worlds premier talents, we are so Blessed to hear such pure Ethereal Beauty 💙

[xiaoven]

damn.. her voice. it's so unique, i love it

[CasOO]

Birdys songs are like falling in love with someone.
First you're like:"Nothing special here" but slowly you notice how awesome it is, while you're looking at it again and then suddenly you can't stop thinking about it.

[sitolongges]

When you look into her eyes, you see that she is singing through her heart. <3 I love this girl.

[raycornford]

Beautiful music has brought tears to my eyes many times in the past, but Birdy is the first 'popular' artist ever to do so. Her voice has a 'broken' vulnerability that touches something at my core. This song in particular. Her writing and singing keeps getting better! Thank you, Birdy.

[newingtonrock]

Beautiful Lies is number 4 in the UK album charts - well done Birdy

[anagaray]

Please Birdy, never ever stop being yourself! Don't let anyone turn you into something else, your voice is amazing just like that, and so is your music!

"Beautiful Lies"

Beautiful lies
Cover my eyes with your hands
Just pretend we're better
Turn out the light
There are no more surprises to come
Let's be numb together

The world's so fast and nothing lasts
Let's save it while we can

Cause I want to be forever
Like smoke in the air
Float like a feather going nowhere
Lost in the silence
I don't need to be free
Kill me with kindness
And please

Tell me beautiful lies
I wish that I had the strength to let go, but I don't
I'm paralyzed
I see the child in your eyes and I'm stuck in the headlights

I know too well that time will tell
It's easy to forget

Cause I want to be forever
Like smoke in the air
Float like a feather going nowhere
Lost in the silence
I don't need to be free
Kill me with kindness
And please

Oh, well, I've tried to be open
But I've found it's hard when you're broken
And in the heat of the moment, we're free
So please, please
Please

Tell me beautiful lies
Cover my eyes with your hands
Just pretend we're better
Turn out the light
There are no more surprises to come
Let's be numb together

[lancegodfrey]

Dude bro... that was the most beautiful thing I've heard in a long time, and I'm not lying.

[elexa]

I really like Birdy, she has such a beautiful voice and the piano's notes are perfect ♥

[przestancie]

I am dying when she sings "I dont need to be free". OMG she's so much into that song! <3

[eguia]

Birdy is my favorite singer, hope one day meeting her.

[JackdawYT]

Is Birdy an F5 button? because she is refreshing!

[rivertide]

with age, her voice is getting stronger .
Brilliant voice of brilliant young woman

[jadedberry]

Oh my Birdy! You never fail to touch my deepest soul.

[jamesmurphy-walsh]

She is one absolutely gifted human being.

[janetallthetime]

There's something extraordinary in her... It's hard to explain, but it personifies each meaning uder the words 'beauty' and 'authenticity'. She makes the sound of her music so different from what nowadays is being liked, but in a positive way, it's so inspiring, so full of tenderness... You can't stay unmoved. She changes the atmosphere. Like an angel that's revealing among all the people here in this world. Birdy's singing is not just telling a story. It's creating. With every performance. It's all part of her, coming out of her naturally. I'm so grateful for Birdy. WE LOVE YOU FOR BEING YOU, JASMINE.

[elian]

This song is so beautiful. I really love the lyrics and the harmony. Also, the Birdy's voice is perfect.

'Cause I want to be like smoke in the air.
