i was drawn to you like a moth to a flame
only to become but a pawn in your game
you served it so sweetly little did I realize
crafted as a fine wine but all in disguise

the words you said hit me like a wave
​a feeling I thought to take to my grave
you had it practiced to perfection through and through 
a lovely lie    three simple words     I  love you

solo

a few short months your veneer ran thin
you have no heart beneath your skin
i found a new road with plenty of signs 
and they all point away from your designs

the words you said hit me like a wave
a feeling I thought to take to my grave
you had it practiced to perfection through and through 
alovely lie    three simple words     I  love you

turnaround

the words you said hit me like a wave
a feeling I thought to take to my grave
you had it practiced to perfection through and through 
a lovely lie    three simple words     I  love you
only three simple words  such a lovely lie
