Lyrics for Ive 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 open It's sweeter than the sweetest of wine Now you're gone I find myself yearning For the love that I left behind 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 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
