Love Lies, Love Dies

I thought love so gentle, so pure
I knew love so sweet and so secure
Turning with an open heart
With a touch, we would never be apart
Flames of love, now ash just drifts away
Here I am: I'm lost, and love's astray
I can never love again
For love lied and it died in the end

If I knew then what I know now
If I had known it all somehow
Always believing
Love deceiving
I could have held my shattered dream
Seen all the things I should have seen
Now I know love lies
Now I know love is bound to die

So much love now gone, just slipped away
So much pain to see that love betrays
I will never love again
For love lies and it will die in the end

I thought I saw love in his eyes
But now I know that love just lies
Leaving me hollow
Nothing to follow
So I will never give me heart
And I will always stand apart
Now I know love lies
Now I know love is bound to die

And love was nothing but a need
Devoured by an empty greed
The ashes fill my empty heart
I will always stand apart
This from love's beguiling mask
The kiss the questions never asked
And now I know that love just lies
I know love is bound to die

Love lies, love dies
Love lies, love dies
Love lies, love dies
Love lies, love dies
Love lies, love dies
Love lies, love dies
Love lies, love dies
Love lies, love dies
Love lies, love dies
