Summer Lies

We used to dance like it was going out of style

when you loved me for a while

and I remember every word you ever said; every kiss

We used to sing all the oldest songs we knew

but the words were never true for you

or was it all a game of solitaire played in the dark?

All the sweetest things you said and I believed were summer lies

Hanging in the willow trees like the dead were summer lies

I'll never fall in love again.

I whispered too but the things I said were true

and I gave up my whole world for you

I gave you all the best years of my life

and half the worst and now you're gone

I pine and wane, pale and wan, never knowing

when it's dawn, curtains drawn, hiding in my room,

wasting away, cutting myself.
