Lying Ways
Only one true friend would tell me,
face my anger she had feared.
I saw truth in what she told me.
You were lying through your beard.
Though it breaks my heart to leave you,
I would rather be alone
than with one who would deceive me.
With this message, I am gone.
Refrain:
There was a time that I believed it,
that your love was mine alone.
But I can’t be fooled forever.
Now my trust in you is gone.
When you find this note I’m writing,
know at once it is too late
to win back the heart that trusted.
Lying ways has sealed your fate.
And the one with whom you dallied
breaks another’s loving heart.
By your guilt two links are broken
as more lives are torn apart.
Refrain:
There was a time that I believed it,
that your love was mine alone.
But I can’t be fooled forever.
Now my trust in you is gone.
Left now only with each other,
cheaters both well proven to be,
you can never trust each other.
Just deserts it seems to me.
Do it with you, do it to you,
lies uneasy on your mind.
You’ll be sorry you betrayed me,
truest love you’ll ever find.
Refrain:
There was a time that I believed it,
that your love was mine alone.
But I can’t be fooled forever.
Now my trust in you is gone.
