I'LL LIE TO YOU


I was looking for inspiration
You were making a joke of things
I was searching for desperation
Your secret heart was well concealed
In the spring and through the summer
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Then you whispered just please hold me
And our lives began to change

*I won't say another word
I'll never let you know the truth
I'll always always lie to you
But deep inside I love you

I was reaching through the darkness
You denied all I believed
Yet I let myself fall further
You said love was too naive
Passion springs from silent sources
But softness lies behind your shield
One drink lead on to another
And a woman was revealed*

So show me anger show me sorrow
Shed the tears of teenage sadness
History breeds contempt for kindness
But without love we live in vain
If I could make you know my feelings
Would your courage start to grow?
I see the beauty yet to blossom
If you would just let your love show*
