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
