Chayce Beckham - Glitter Lyrics

We looked the part, we memorized the lines
We made it look easy, we did it all the time
Just playin' along until the spotlight was gone
'Cause you can only fake it so long

You can't water silk flowers
And expect them to grow
Or pretend it's a diamond
When it's a rhinestone
Yeah, we made it look perfect
Like a magazine cover
Shine bright for the picture
But not for each other
The love wasn't real
The kiss was for show
Baby, it was only glitter
It was never gold

Some satellites are mistaken for stars
Like some people wish they had a love like ours
'Cause it looked good on paper
Until the page turned
We found out we couldn't be
Who we were acting like we were

You can't water silk flowers
And expect them to grow
Or pretend it's a diamond
When it's a rhinestone
Yeah, we made it look perfect
Like a magazine cover
Shine bright for the picture
But not for each other
The love wasn't real
The kiss was for show
Baby, it was only glitter
It was never gold

You can't water silk flowers
And expect them to grow
Or pretend it's a diamond
When it's a rhinestone
Yeah, we made it look perfect
Like a magazine cover
Shine bright for the picture
But not for each other
The love wasn't real
The kiss was for show
Baby, it was only glitter
It was never gold
