Lyrics for Summer Lies
We used to dance like it was going out of style When you loved me for a while And I remember every word you ever said; every kiss We used to sing all the oldest songs we knew But the words were never true for you Or was it all a game of solitaire played in the dark? (C): All the sweetest things you said and I believed were summer lies Hanging in the willow trees like the dead were summer lies I'll never fall in love again. I whispered too but the things I said were true And I gave up my whole world for you I gave you all the best years of my life And half the worst and now you're gone I pine and wane, pale and wan, never knowing When it's dawn, curtains drawn, hiding in my room, Wasting away, cutting myself. (C)
