[Verse 1]
Lay by my side, my silent lullaby
Now you're so far gone, I just talk to the pillow
The colours collide from my plastic paradise
Never burned so bright as the lights grow dimmer

[Pre-Chorus]
And I want to stay
You start a fire without a match and I'm sane

[Chorus]
Tell me a lie
In my dreams, I don't ask why
Chasing doves never felt so easy
Open your eyes
'Cause in my dreams we never die
Chasing doves never felt so easy

[Post-Chorus]
Show me how to fly, how to fly, how to fly
Show a smile, how to smile, how to smile
'Cause I, I don't wanna cry no more

[Verse 2]
I'm wide awake in the cold of my mistakes
If you come back, promise I'll get better
And I know here the colours ain't so bold
But if you come back, I'll love you forever
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear symphonies in my cries?
Can machines hear my prayers through the wires?

[Chorus]
Tell me a lie
In my dreams, I don't ask why
Chasing doves never felt so easy
Open your eyes
'Cause in my dreams we never die
Chasing doves never felt so easy

[Post-Chorus]
Show me how to fly, how to fly, how to fly
Show a smile, how to smile, how to smile
'Cause I, I don't wanna cry no more

[Bridge]
Wide awake in the cold of my mistakes
If you come back, promise I'll stop chasing doves

[Chorus]
Tell me a lie
In my dreams, I don't ask why
Chasing doves never felt so easy
Open your eyes
'Cause in my dreams we never die
Chasing doves never felt so easy
[Post-Chorus]
Show me how to fly, how to fly, how to fly
Show a smile, how to smile, how to smile
'Cause I, I don't wanna cry no more
