telling me lies

Lyrics

they say a woman's a fool for weeping, a fool to break her own heart, but i can't hold the secret i'm keeping, i'm breaking apart, can't seem to mind my own business, whatever i try turns out wrong, i seem like my own false witness, and i can't go on, i cover my ears, i close my eyes, still hear your voice and it's telling me lies, telling me lies, you told me you needed my company, and i believed in your flattering ways, you told me you needed me forever, nearly gave you the rest of my days, should've seen you for what you are, should never have come back for more, should've locked up all my silver, brought the key right to your door, i cover my ears, i close my eyes, still hear your voice and it's telling me lies, telling me lies, you don't know what a chance is, until you have to seize one, you don't know what a man is, until you have to please one, don't put your life in the hands of a man, with a face for every season, don't waste your time in the arms of a man, who's no stranger to treason, i cover my ears, i close my eyes, still hear your voice and it's telling me lies, telling me lies
