The Simple Story

- The little thoughts came rushing in
While I watched for a sign from him
When all the while was clear as day
That I should go and he should stay

- I look his love like it was mine
I squeezed the truth until it lied
It took some time for cracks to show
Should I stay or should he go?

- The simple story that you told me
Is a little different from what you showed me
The simple story, unfurling slowly
Is if you lay down with a dream
You'll wake up lonely

- The fog will cast a certain shade
So what you see is how what's made
it's mark will show you what to do
When hope pretends it's made you new

- Love lied,
love lied
but I'm the reason
Love lied

- The simple story (Love lied) that you told me (Love lied)
Is a little different from what you showed me (Love lied)
The simple story, unfurling slowly
Is if you lay down with a dream
You'll wake up lonely

- The sky wraps round the mountaintops
- The watch unwinds until it stops
Some things will always be the way they are
- And that is how they'll stay

- The simple story (Love lied) that you told me (Love lied)
Is a little different from what you showed me (Love lied)
The simple story (Love lied), unfurling slowly (Love lied)
Is if you lay down with a dream
You'll wake up lonely (Love lied)
