Lies Lies Lies
Lyrics:
[English]
I don't come down with the sun
I won't hate myself when the mornin' comes
No thoughts of your body runnin' through my head
No bottle of bourbon beside the bed, 'cause
It was nothing to give you up
I never reach for you in another touch
Don't ever think about you with him
And girl, tonight I won't call again and again
Ain't nothin', but
Lies, lies, lies
Look into my eyes, eyes, eyes
I'm still a fool for you
Nothin' I wouldn't do for you
Lies, lies, lies
Girl, I'm on a downhill dive
Habits and hard heartbreaks are hard to break
So, I just tell the same old lies, lies, lies
Yeah, baby, I can try, try, try
To act like I don't give a damn, but I do
Bet you're missin' me bad as I miss you
Snowballs to a phone call
Soundin' somethin' stupid
Baby, 'cause the truth is
The 90 proof is tellin' me
Lies, lies, lies
Look into my eyes, eyes, eyes
I'm still a fool for you
Nothin' I wouldn't do for you
Lies, lies, lies
Girl, I'm on a downhill dive
Habits and hard heartbreaks are hard to break
So I just tell the same old lies, lies, lyin' to myself
Why, why, why in the hell
Do I keep sayin' I can get you back?
That's about as honest as sayin' that
I don't come down with the sun
I won't hate myself when the mornin' comes
Damn, ain't nothin', but
Lies, lies, lies
Look into my eyes, eyes, eyes
I'm still a fool for you
Nothin' I wouldn't do for you
Lies, lies, lies
Girl, I'm on a downhill dive
Habits and hard heartbreaks are hard to break
So I just tell the same old lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies
...
