Loved and Lied To

Wanna go back home, but I'm afraid to fly

Wanna fall in love, but the price is way too high

And I'd like to go to heaven, but I don't wanna die

And I'd like to hang around, but I'm not about to lie

Oh you really laid me low last night

A beautiful deception

You're messin' with my line of sight

changing my perception

Of the push and shove that come with love

And the pain you put me through

You see I'd never been loved and then lied to

And I don't need no final glance

Don't need a romance left to circumstance

It's much too high a price to pay

Don't need to know the reason why you walked away

Loved and lied to, brought down broken hearted

Hung out to dry alone and left to take a chance

To try and find someway to take me back to where we started

Brought down, laid low, turned around and loved and lied to

And I wanna fall in love again with sweet infatuation

Wanna rise above the cares and heartaches of my station

And I'm dreamin' of a life that I could live with resignation

Where I wouldn't be loved and denied to

Don't give me that solemn gaze

Don't start in talkin' 'bout better days

Don't start turnin' things around

Don't try to make me think you didn't mean to let me down

Loved and lied to, brought down broken hearted

Hung out to dry alone and left to take a chance

To try and find someway to take me back to where we started

Brought down, laid low, turned around and loved and lied to
