Just a Lie

There isn’t anything I’d do for you There isn’t anything worth the time It would take to make this better So much less of a crime Maybe once, or was it twice Lies fell easily upon these ears But no matter what you patter Now I have only fear Chorus Why’d you have to whisper sorry? Why’d you have to cry? When I told you it was over It wasn’t just a lie And perhaps I was mistaken Though why I do not know Your eyes they carry lies And your tears are just for show Chorus x 2 Perhaps you should stop talking It’s a sound I’ve heard before Now it’s far too late to wait To pick my heart up from the floor And baby keep your apologies You’ll need them later on To be repeated when you’ve cheated On the next girl that you con So why’d you have to whisper sorry Why’d you have to cry When i said that it was over It wasn’t just a lie It wasn’t just a lie When I said it was over It wasn’t just a lie.
