• Lies
    by Lyris Mendax

    You said that you loved me
    That you would never say goodbye
    I trusted now I hurt
    You told a dirty lie

    Why did you try to play with me?
    Like I was a precious toy
    Then turn and toss me away
    Like some spoiled little boy

    Lies….
    Is that all you know?
    Lies….
    Sound so pretty in the night
    Lies….
    Slips like water from your lips
    Lies….
    This is where I say goodbye

    I don't want to play with you
    You're too cold inside
    You claim to be of fire
    Yet all I have found is ice

    I tried for many nights to hold you
    Only to get pushed away
    Then you would call to me
    With more sweet words to say

    Because of you I have found the truth
    I'll look for it everyday
    Those lies are all that you know
    Now pardon me as I slip away

    Lies….
    Is that all you know?
    Lies….
    Sound so pretty in the night
    Lies….
    Slips like water from your lips
    Lies….
    This is where I say goodbye

    You said you wanted to hold me
    That I was a part of your soul
    Such empty words you gave to me
    As lust slowly took control

    I gave into you once
    Found fire in the night
    But that fire did not last
    It seemed to fizzle in the morning light

    Lies….
    Is that all you know?
    Lies….
    Sound so pretty in the night
    Lies….
    Slips like water from your lips
    Lies….
    This is where I say goodbye

    Yes this is where I say goodbye
    Because I do not need nor want
    Anymore of your pretty lies
