Lies
Gareth Gates · Other Songs - Gareth Gates
I waited in the summer rain
I waited for my teardrops falling
You never came along
You had to do me wrong again
You promised me you gave your words
that this time around would be all different
My heart has had enough
I'm really not that tough inside
Baby
Chorus:
Lies
You hide behind your lies
cause look into my eyes
can't break my heart with honesty instead
Cause I don't wanna cry
I'd rather say goodbye
Bye, bye
I can't take another lie
They told me not to trust in you
And finally I do believe them
Say who's the other man
You do the best you can to hide
Tell me
Does he think you are as beautiful as I did
The very first time I laid my eyes on you
I gave my heart to you
Again and again and again, baby
Chorus
Another night, another day
How can I go on this time without you
What can I do, what can I say
Say is there any other way
Chorus x 2

Chorus:
