How Much I've Lied

Darling, there is something I must tell you, you must know
But it's so hard to say the words I feel
This fancy that I'm on has been going on too long
It's time we stop pretending things are real

'Cause I've been living deep in sin
I've been living blind
And I don't know just what's right or wrong

To take a chance on losing you
Was such a silly thing to do
A chance I might wake up and find you gone

Blue, so blue, my love is burning blue
Any brighter flame could be a lie
Blue, so blue, my love still burns for you
But I know that I'll only make you cry

A thief can only steal from you
He cannot break your heart
He'll never touch the precious things inside

Someone like you should surely be
Miles and miles away from me
Then you'd never care how much I've lied

So try to understand the pain
It takes so long when I explain
Please, don't you forget how much I've lied
