Araby (Lie #17)

April was a lie
left me numb and empty
With no tomorrow
shinning through the sun
My one love I had
you took and buried
I waited for love to come
but it never came home
You see I waited for love to come
but it never came home
Lie number seventeen
forgotten just like me
Tonight’s the night we collide
Lie number seventeen
forgotten just like me
Body shaking
she’s crying in the doorway
Wondering if tomorrows
come and gone
Her words seem meaningless
Of fading someday
You see I waited for love to come
but it never came home
Lie number seventeen
forgotten just like me
Tonight’s the night we collide
Betrayal at the core
What was December for
When you runaway, runaway
Lie number seventeen
You say you love me
Well I’m still here
my love didn’t disappear
You chose your pain to keep
instead of me
Which ones insanity
Look what you’ve done to me
My heart is a lock
and you are a broken key
You say you love me
Well I’m still here
So runaway, runaway
while my heart is breaking down
So runaway, runaway
While her ghost is staring me down
Lie number seventeen
