Cover art for A Beautiful Lie lyrics by 30 Seconds to Mars

I think this song is about life in a sense, I think that hes in love with a girl who doesnt love him back. He knows that hes got no chance with her, but he lies to himself and tells himself that there is a chance. He lays in bed thinking about his life and what it all means, to those whove loved someone who doesnt love you, you should know exactly what thats like. I actually am goin through that now. This songs meaning reminds me alot of "Pain" by Jimmy Eat World
