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
