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?
