Cold and grey, the morning breaks
Echoes of the words you spoke
Counting all my old mistakes
Watching as the dream grew old
Left out in the rain

Every smile a sweet disguise
Every step a bit too slow
Truth was fading from your eyes
Though I wouldn't let you go
All for your own gain

Truth comes in without a sound
Like a shadow on the floor
All the trust I thought we found
Drifted out the open door

Your love was a clever lie
Tangled in a soft goodbye
You took what you wanted most
Left me holding just a ghost
Your love was a lie

Now the light is turning clear
No more waiting by the gate
Shadows slowly disappear
Free from all this heavy weight
No longer in your chain

Truth comes in without a sound
Like a shadow on the floor
All the trust I thought we found
Drifted out the open door

Your love was a clever lie
Tangled in a soft goodbye
You took what you wanted most
Left me holding just a ghost
Your love was a lie

Just a pretty lie
Just a pretty lie
Just a pretty lie
Goodbye
