Not Just the Lie

Something about love I couldn’t seem to hold onto

Being loved and then betrayed by you

Just when I thought we’d see it through

Not just the lie something’s in my eye,

Time passes painfully on like a thousand dawns

What are we just, clueless pawns?

The broken heart that never bonds

Not just the lie something’s in my eye,

All the things I could have done

All the victories I could have won

Lurking in shadows away from the sun

Not just the lie something’s in my eye,

How many thoughts occur in a day?

Time to reflect on love lost anyway

The bitter taste of tears come what may

It’s not just the lies something’s in my eye,

How easily they move along

The adulterers who never think it’s wrong

Who are shiftless and never really belong

It’s not just the lies there’s something in my eye,

Someday she’ll come undone

Sadly, there will be no one

Just when another impulse had just begun

Not just the lie something’s in my eye,

Is there any time left for you?

Is there any time left to appreciate the view?

Just like the color of the sky I’m feeling blue

It’s not just the lie there’s something in my eye,

Everybody is destined to cry

There you’ll hear that mournful sigh

When they find out the world is full of compromise

Not just those lies there’s something in my eye.
