Gram Parsons - How Much I've Lied lyrics

rate me

darling, there is something I must tell you, you must know

but it's so hard to say the words I feel

this fancy that I'm on has been going on too long

it's time we stopped pretending things are real

'cause I've been living deep in sin, I've been living blind

and I don't know just what's right or wrong

to take a chance on losing you was such a silly thing to do

the chance I might wake up and find you gone

blue, so blue, my love is burning blue

any brighter flame would be a lie

blue, so blue, my love still burns for you

but I know that I'll only make you cry

a thief can only steal from you, he cannot break your heart

he'll never touch the precious things inside

so one like you should surely be miles and miles away from me

then you'd never care how much I've lied

so try to understand the pain

it takes so long when I explain

so please, don't you forget how much I've lied
