An Old Lie

Jean-Paul VERNERET

3/4/2010

 

Verse 1

We made up worlds that we had never seen

With words too big for what our silence means

We played as kings in kingdoms made of glass

But even dreams are fading, never last

 

Bridge

And I saw our reflections break at night

Like an old lie we’re still repeating, right

And all our promises, a worn-out song

That always sounds so false when we believe too strong

 

Chorus

And I see myself there in your arms again

Like a story that was over before it began

And I hear your “I love you” fade away

Like a lost echo with nothing left to say

 

Verse 2

You had that look that told me I should stay

But all your absences spoke loud anyway

We lost ourselves without a single change

Like strangers who accept what they became

 

Bridge

And I saw our reflections break at night

Like an old lie we’re still repeating, right

And all our promises, a worn-out song

That always sounds so false when we believe too strong

 

Chorus

And I see myself there in your arms again

Like a story that was over before it began

And I hear your “I love you” fade away

Like a lost echo with nothing left to say
