Convincing Lies

You look for truth with hopeful eyes
You’re asking me to tell you lies
You need to hear me say the words
I love you
And God, you know I wish I did
How can I ask what I can’t give?
And without love, how can I live?
I need you
So I’ll look straight into your eyes
And tell you sweet convincing lies
For sympathy a child cries
And breaks a woman’s heart
Are breezes lost that blow one way?
Are seeds that fall on stony ground to waste?
Do falling stars all fall in haste
For nothing?
Oh no, you can’t lose the love you sow
It may take root or never grow
But in your heart you’ll always know
It’s planted
So I’ll look straight into your eyes
And tell you sweet convincing lies
For sympathy a child cries
And breaks a woman’s heart
No, you can’t lose the love you sow
It may take root or never grow
But in your heart you’ll always know
It’s planted
So I’ll look straight into your eyes
And tell you sweet convincing lies
For sympathy a child cries
And breaks a woman’s heart
Convincing lies
Convincing lies
Convincing lies
Convincing lies
