Lovely Lie

How do you love me?
How do you know?
 
How do you love me?
Is it for show? 
 
How do you say it?
Without meaning a thing?
 
How do you say it?
Please say what you mean
 
How can you lie?
Without any remorse
 
How can you lie?
It's easy of course
 
How do you smile?
Like nothing is wrong
 
How do I smile?
Its been so long
 
You had me fooled
If only for a minute
 
You had me fooled
It was lovely while it lasted
