I’ve Lied
Sitting here in a lonely old guest house
I'm sure that my life is all through
Scratching fleas and watching a grey mouse
I'm making love to the memory of you

For without you I am weak and uncertain
And I feel so naked and cold
Like a window without any curtains
My innermost feelings unfold

The drink that I just had
It wasn't as bad as the first
But, drinking won't do
When it is only for you I thirst....I thirst

For your kiss it quenches ______________
It's sweeter than the sweetest of wine
Now you're gone I find myself yearning
For the love I left behind

Nobody can feel the pain that I feel inside
And if I said I'm strong and I'm never wrong
I've lied. I've lied

Nobody can heal the pain that I feel inside
And if I said I'm strong and I'm never wrong
I've lied. I've lied. I've lied
