[Verse 1]
“Fine!” she said, “I'm going away.”
“You'd better pack those bags,” was all I could say
By the time I'd changed my mind
She was a figment, a dream
As sad as it seems, so gone

[Refrain]
Lies! Lies!

[Verse 2]
So with an emptiness inscribed
You must avert those sorrow eyes
For not a willow wept until the night you left
And a penultimate kiss don't taste as fervent as this, my love

[Verse 3]
Beneath a sun that shines so bright
Or as we're waltzing through the night
On top of cobblestones, those silent tones
Could paint a picture of you in the evening dew, alone

[Refrain]
Lies! Lies!

[Bridge]
And I was wrong to dance so slow
But I needed time to realize just where to go
[Outro]
In the search to find the flower for you
I came across a poet or two
Scarlet lies dripped from their eyes
So take it from me, how bad could it be, my love?
I said take it from me, how bad could it be, my love?
