He says it wont be long now its gonna be alright 

He says he dreams about her every night

When she reads his letter there's tears drops in her eyes

She knows inside her heart she's reading lies

His lies are better than nothing she says

The truth will dawn on him one of these days

He'll learn to cherish the lovin ways of one true love



She seen the sad long glasses

She knows what people say 

Say while she at home he plays away

She has to keep pretending

She mustn't lose control 

Playin the fool is the most demanding draws

His lies are better than nothing she says

The truth will dawn on him one of these days

He'll learn to cherish the lovin ways of one true love



His lies are better than nothing she says

The truth will dawn on him one of these days

He'll learn to cherish the lovin ways of one true love



She lays awake and wonders no need to hide her tears 

The walls that hides her sorrows don't have ears

But come tomorrow morning she'll don her dignity 

Her broken heart the world will never see



His lies are better than nothing she says

The truth will dawn on him one of these days

He'll learn to cherish the lovin ways of one true love

Of one true love
