Lies Lyrics
The Black Keys
Lyrics
You said the moon was ours, yeah
You said the moon was ours, to hell with the day
The sunlight is always gonna take love away
Brings up suspicions and, and alibi
But I can see blue, tear-blinded eyes
Lies, lies, lies, ohh lies
I got a stone where my heart should be
I got a stone where my heart should be
And nothing I do will make you love me
I'd leave this time, break all my ties
Be no more use for any disguise
Lies, lies, lies, ohh lies
I wanna die without pain, yeah
I wanna die, oh, without pain
All this deception, I just can't maintain
The sun, moon, stars in the sky
It'd hurt me too bad if you said goodbye
Lies, lies, lies, ohh lies
