LOVE WAS A LIE


Raising babies, who’s got time?
I’ve got my name on a neon sign
Up on stage in pretty blue light
I don’t need to grow up tonight

I had flash and snake skin boots
Too many gigs to put down roots
Love was a lie in a motel room
Love was a lie, ‘til I met you

My first children were my songs
They were happy when you came along
When you left and the house turned cold
They were all I had to hold

I had fire and a brush with fame
Now nobody’s clapping and calling my name
Love was a lie but I made it sound true
Love was a lie, ‘til I met you

Shadows run through this old house
I’ll never know where they are bound
Fingerprints on window panes
From little angels who flew away

Precious ghosts who comfort me
That’s the blessing of memory
Love was a lie I finally saw through
Love was a lie, ‘til I met you
Love was a lie I finally saw through
Love was a lie, ‘til I met you
