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



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
