The Lie
It was a selfish crime, I never saw it coming
as I took the deep breath before the plunge
I dove in and closed my eyes
You held back, but I ignored the signs
that you were not ready
And as I went under I still held on
to the finger you promised to me
And you thought I’d let go
but I’m still here screaming love me please
CHORUS:
It was a lie and you know it wasn’t the only one
it was all lies, but you know that my favourite one
was when you told me you wanna marry me
It was the lie that would not let go of me
Oh, what a travesty, your infidelity
My body’s not even cold
and you’re married to him
Tired of dragging that dead horse
you were bored and I was breathless
Gasping for air, you left me floundering for solid ground
And as this wreckage was slowly sinking, I hit the bottom thinking
It ‘s not fair, I watched you move on as I went down
Now the fool you forgot and left for dead
is back to remind you of what you did and everything you said
CHORUS
Reel me in, use me up, spit me out, walk on by
No more “I love you’s” or “I want you’s”
I wish you’d die
CHORUS
