Lies

When I look at you and tell you I think of no one else, that is the truth When you look at me and say I am the only one for you, that is a lie When we lay together and I tell you I love the way your arms feel, that is the truth When we are side by side and you say you want no one else, that is a lie I tell the truth when I look in your eyes You tell me lies when you don’t look at me anymore Once you told me I was the best thing that happened to you Then you found another Once you told me you would never need anyone else again Then you found another Once you told me that love was forever Then you found another When all is said and done And you have gone your way I’ll remember that I loved you And that you said you’d stay But now that you have left me I sit alone and cry Were they always lies you told? Is it why you said goodbye?
