Love Lies

I was lost, then I found you

I never thought it would be this way

Showed you my heart, I left it unguarded

like a thief in the night you stole it away

Now you're gone, the pain goes on and on

I still hear you whispering to me

Through the shadows of the night



Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines

You're running on into a cold night

You're just a number of the love lies

All alone you call it survival



He lost at love to a stranger's lines

Walking the streets, searching with vengeance

for a face that he dreams of night after night

Time goes on, all signs of life stolen,

Simple dreams were all broken

Best of times become desperation

But how many tears must you cry to survive



Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines

You're running on into a cold night

Just a number of the love lies



Love lies, you're just another victim of the headlines

You're running on into a cold night

Just a number of the love lies



They met late one night in the city

Both men knew only one would stay

Scratched a picture of a heart on a bullet

and took his life away



Love lies, you're just another victim of the headlines

You're running on into a cold night

Just a number of the love lies



Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines

You're running on into a cold night

Just a number of the love lies
