Love Lies

I was lost, then I found you
Never thought it would be this way
I showed you my heart, left it unguarded
Like a thief in the night you stole it away

Now you’re gone, the pain goes on and on
I still hear you whispering to me through the shadows of the night


Love lies, you’re just a victim of the headlines
You’re running on into a cold night
You’re just a number of the love lies

All alone you call it survival
He lost at love to a stranger’s lines
Walking the streets, searching with vengeance
For a face that he dreams of night after night

Time goes on, all signs of life stolen, simple dreams were all broken
Best of times become desperation but how many tears must you cry to survive

Love lies, you’re just a victim of the headlines
You’re running on into a cold night
You’re just a number of the love lies


They met late one night in the city
Both men knew only one would stay
Scratched a picture of a heart on a bullet
And took his life away

Love lies, you’re just a victim of the headlines
You’re running on into a cold night
You’re just a number of the love lies..
