Lies

(Mary Perrin)

you promised me your love forever
I really thought I’d found a home at last
you said that I could trust in you forever
it’s funny how forever went so fast
I really tried to let you see
the loving friend you had in me
but you just turned away inside
the more I loved
the more you lied

you started telling me those lies, lies, lies
baby that’s what broke my heart
all your lies, lies
lies right from the start
baby that’s what broke my heart

why were you so scared to trust me
why’d you think I wouldn’t understand
I gave you every chance to trust me
I even laid my loving heart right in your hands
but you were busy running round
with every other girl in town
and I was too in love to see
that you were making
such a fool of me

while you were telling me those lies, lies, lies
baby that’s what broke my heart
all your lies, lies
lies right from the start
baby that’s what broke my heart

and though you’ve driven me away
there’s just one thing I want to say
i love you still
I always will
not even lies
could change the way I feel

but why’d you tell me all those lies, lies, lies
baby that’s what broke my heart
all those lies, lies
lies right from the start
baby that’s what broke my heart
