The Lie Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came home late with a hungry heart
Falling silent in the hall
And I was feeling the need
But unable to read
Your message shinin' on the wall
[Verse 2]
Shakin' and pale, my future for sale
I knew the loneliness of love
Feeling withdrawal all alone in the hall
My heartbreak fitting like a glove
You didn't want me at all
[Chorus]
You made me feel
As though I'd lived a lie
The whole world knew except me
What your eyes concealed
[Verse 3]
I looked at your face on the pillow case
The shadow smiled, then fell away
Your favourite tune still haunted the room
I would have bled for you to stay
But you didn't want me at all
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
You made me feel
As though I'd lived a lie
The whole world knew except me
What your eyes concealed
[Verse 4]
All those years of secrets and fears
Meant nothin' to you but a game
And the love in your eyes was nothin' but lies
You let my heart break without shame
[Outro]
I just fell silent in the hall
You never loved me at all
I know the loneliness of love
My heartbreak fitted like a glove
Down on my knees to God above
