We looked the part, we memorized the lines
Em G7
We made it look easy, we did it all the time

Just playin' along until the spotlight was gone
Am7 D
'Cause you can only fake it so long
 
[Chorus]

You can't water silk flowers and expect them to grow
G
Or pretend it's a diamond when it's a rhinestone
C
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
Am C G
Baby, it was only glitter, but it was never gold

Well, some satellites are mistaken for stars

Like some people wish they had a love like ours

We found out we couldn't be who we were actin' 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
C
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, but it was never gold
