Lyrics for Best Kept Lies
I'm losin' myself nightly 'Cause no-one's tellin' me just where you are You got me like a fever And movin' like you've got too far You used to shine so brightly All is fadin' now as time goes on Just when I think I hear ya I look around and you'll be gone Be gone, well You got this thing for leavin' Just as I'm about to really know someone I'd like to help you with your searchin' Don't you know you're not the only one Hangin' all alone With your best kept lies You say you're comin' home Give it one more try You let me know discretely I ain't nothin' when you're not with me Once I'd have to call ya Now all that's left's a mystery Sayin' goodbyes only Gonna leave me wonderin' endlessly Were you really here Or someone I am yet to see You got this thing for leavin' Just as I'm about to really know someone I'd like to help you with your searchin' Don't you know you're not the only one, yeah I'm losing myself nightly (hangin' all alone) 'Cause no-one's telling me just where you are (with your best kept lies) You got me like a fever (you say you're comin' home) And moving like you've gone too far (give it one more try) Oh yeah (hangin' all alone) I'm losing myself nightly (with your best kept lies) I'm losing myself nightly (you say you're comin' home) I'm losing myself nightly ohhh
