Love Lies, Love Dies

I thought love so gentle, so pure
I knew love so sweet and so secure
Turning with an open heart
With a touch we would never be apart

So much love just gone slipped away
So much pain to see that love betrays
I will never love again
For love lies, and it will die in the end

If I knew then what I know now
If I had known it all somehow
Always believing love is deceiving
I could have held my shattered dreams
Seen all the things I should have seen
Now I know love lies
Now I know love is bound to die

Flames of love now ash just drifts away
Here I am: I'm lost, and love's astray
I can never love again
For love lied and then it died in the end

[Chorus:]
I thought I saw love in his eyes
But now I know that love just lies
Leaving me hollow, nothing to follow
So I will never give my heart
And I will be a woman apart
Now I know love lies
Now I know love is bound to die

And love was nothing but a need
Devoured by an empty greed
The ashes fill my empty heart
I will always stand apart
This from love's beguiling mask
A kiss, the questions never asked
And now I know that love just lies
I know love is bound to die

[Chorus]
