Verse:

Gone are all of my love dreams, my heart cries.

I know now that it's too late, All your vows were lies:

 

Chorus:

LIES that made me happy,

LIES that made me blue.

You lied to me the day that you promised,

You'd be true.

LIES that broke my heart, dear,

I believed them too.

But the meanest lie that you told to me was,

I love you.
