You, you knew how to soothe me

Like the sound of rain on a sleepy afternoon

You made me a believer

That this love was worth falling into

It was good for a while

Then the smoke finally cleared

All those sweet little words

that you whispered in my ear

All those perfect promises

They all disappeared



Id rather face some lonely nights

have a couple long hard cries

even fall apart inside

than be wrapped up in your gorgeous lies

everything i thought i knew

that was never really you

id rather taste the bitter truth

than be wrapped up in your gorgeous lies



i, i foudn out the hard way

never saw it till the end

oh, your beautiful deception

clouded everything you said

baby you hit me hard

left me achin inside

now ive gotta heal this broken down pride

and forgive myself for being so blind



Id rather face some lonely nights

have a couple long hard cries

even fall apart inside

than be wrapped up in your gorgeous lies

everything i thought i knew

that was never really you

id rather taste the bitter truth

than be wrapped up in your gorgeous lies



now what i wont be missing

is all your pretty fiction



Id rather face some lonely nights

have a couple long hard cries

even fall apart inside

than be wrapped up in your gorgeous lies

everything i thought i knew

that was never really you

id rather taste the bitter truth

than be wrapped up in your gorgeous lies
