Love Lies

I was lost, then I found you
I never thought it would be this way
Showed you my heart, I left it unguarded
like a thief in the night you stole it away.

Now you're gone, the pain goes on and on
I still hear you whispering to me through the shadows of the night.

Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines
You're running on into a cold night
You're just a number of the love lies.

All alone you call it survival
he lost at love to a stranger's lines
Walking the streets, searching with vengence
for a face that he dreams of night after night.

Time goes on, all signs of life stolen, simple dreams were all broken
Best of times become desperation but how many tears must you cry to survive?

Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines
You're running on into a cold night
Just a number of the love lies.

Love lies, you're just another victim of the headlines
You're running on into a cold night
Just a number of the love lies.

They met late one night in the city
Both men knew only one would stay
Scratched a picture of a heart on a bullet
and took his life away.

Love lies, you're just another victim of the headlines
You're running on into a cold night
Just a number of the love lies.

Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines
You're running on into a cold night
Just a number of the love lies.
