What's that lyin' on her pillow |
|
Folded up so neat |
|
What once was love is now a letter |
|
Lying where she used to sleep |
|
Oh, i thought love was something i could count on |
|
But it took her to show me that |
|
Chorus: |
|
Love lies-right to your face |
|
Love lies-just when i had faith |
|
It would let me down |
|
I know that love lies-right to the end |
|
Love lies-i know the word will never mean the same to me |
|
What's this emptiness inside me |
|
Where her promise used to be |
|
She said she'd be here to guide me |
|
I guess now the joke's on me |
|
Oh, i thought love was something like devotion |
|
But it took her to show me that |
|
Chorus: |
|
Just when you think you know what love is about |
|
Someone takes your place, and you find that |
|
Chorus: |
