Telling Me Lies

They say a woman's a fool for weeping
A fool to break her own heart
But I can't hide the secret I'm keeping
And I'm breaking apart

I can't stand by my own business
Whatever I try turns out wrong
I seem to like my own forfeitedness
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 your flattering way
You told me you needed me forever
Nearly gave you the rest of my days

Should have seen you for what you are
Should never have come back for more
Should have locked up all my silver
Brought the key back 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
There's 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

I cover my ears, I close my eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
I cover my ears, I close my eyes
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
