Living A Lie

Why cry when she tells you she's leaving?

A teardrop or two won't keep her loving you

Be grateful she's gone, no more to lead you on

Only fools want to try living a lie

You can't change her mind with your grieving

It's wrong to pretend, let it end

This first love may die but you've still got time, give it one more try

And that's better than living a lie

You don't have to cry when you kiss her goodbye

You can find someone else if you give it a try

Somebody else with a heart so true

That she'll never, never, never stop loving you

Be grateful she's gone, no more to lead you on

Only fools want to try living a lie

I know that you're sad but it's not so bad

When you think of the heartaches you might have had

She's only a flirt with a roving eye

Let her go, don't you know you're a lucky guy?

This first love may die but you've still got time, give it one more try

And that's better than living a lie

And that's better than living a lie
