[Verse 1]
What's that lyin' on her pillow
Folded up so neat
What once was love is now a letter
Lying where she used to sleep

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I thought love was something I could count on
But it took her to show me that

[Chorus]
Love lies, right to your face
Love lies, just when I had faith
It would let me down
I know that love lies, right to the end
Love lies, I know the word will never mean the same to me

[Verse 2]
What's this emptiness inside me
Where her promise used to be
She said she'd be here to guide me
I guess now the joke's on me

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I thought love was something like devotion
But it took her to show me that
[Chorus]
Love lies, right to your face
Love lies, just when I had faith
It would let me down
And I learned that love lies, right to the end
Love lies, I know the word will never mean the same to me

[Bridge]
Just when you think you know what love is about
Someone takes your place, and you find that

[Chorus]
Love lies, right to your face
Love lies, just when I had faith
It would let me down
I know that love lies, right to the end
Love lies, I know the word will never mean the same to me
