Fine! She said, I'm going away You'd better pack those bags was all I could say By the time I'd changed my mind She was a figment, a dream As sad as it seems, so gone Lies! Lies! So with an emptiness inscribed You must avert those sorrow eyes For not a willow wept until the night you left And a penultimate kiss don't taste as fervent as this, my love Beneath a Sun that shines so bright Or as we're waltzing through the night On top of cobblestones, those silent tones Could paint a picture of you in the evening dew, alone Lies! Lies! And I was wrong to dance so slow But I needed time to realize just where to go In the search to find the flower for you I came across a poet or two Scarlet lies dripped from their eyes So take it from me, how bad could it be, my love? I said take it from me, how bad could it be, my love?
