Don'T Tell Me No Lies

Don't tell me you love me, when you've done something wrong. Don't tell me you love me, when you have broken my heart. Don't tll me no stories, don't tell me no lies. Don't tell me you'll change, that things will be right - for when something is broken - you can't make it right. Don't try the sweet talk. It's not going to work. I've been through that road, so many a time before. The sweet talk is nothing, but a way to tell lies, with a touch of sweetness, but they are still lies. I'm begging you - don't even try...
