Deep Blue Lies

It's hard to hang up

 

without a proper goodbye

 

 

I was talkin' to a tone

 

without a chance of reply

 

 

Well our love just sprang up

 

so I guess it's no surprise

 

 

but I still can't forget those deep blue lies

 

 

I was a fool for your gaze

 

lord it burned so **** bright

 

 

There was no where I could go to hide from the light

 

 

And it warmed my chest, as it raised me up

 

So against my better judgment

 

I drank up that poison cup

 

 

God, that venom filled my blood

 

No, it didn't take long

 

 

Where I was weak

 

Girl, you made me feel strong

 

 

Then as quick as you came

 

Baby, you fled from me

 

 

As swift as the wind as it blows through the trees

 

 

I was a fool to fall for your dishonest eyes

 

when I think of them now

 

my spirit shrivels and dies

 

 

I'm sure that all your intentions were good

 

but if I could go back

 

 

I think that I would

 

 

take

 

it

 

all

 

back

 

 

take

 

my

 

love

 

back

 

 

cause I know

 

all I lack

 

 

and this ain't an attack:

 

 

I know this sounds absurd,

 

but darling you were my bird
