How Much I Lied Lyrics

Darling, there is one thing I must tell you, you must know
It's so hard to say the words I feel
This fancy that I'm on's been going on too long
It's time to stop pretending things are real

'Cause I've been living deep in sin, I've been living blind
And I just don't know what's right or wrong
To take a chance on losing you is such a silly thing to do
A chance I might wake up and find you gone

Blue, so blue, my love is burning blue
Any private flame could be a lie
Blue, so blue, my love still burns for you
But I know I'll only make you cry

A thief can only steal from you, he cannot break your heart
He can never touch the precious things inside
Someone like you should surely be miles and miles away from me
Then you'd never care how much I lied
So try to understand the pain, it takes so long when I explain
Please don't you forget how much I lied

How much I lied
How much I lied
