Greg Lake — The Lie

[Verse 1] I came home late with a hungry heart Falling silent in the hall And I was feeling the need But unable to read Your message shinin' on the wall [Verse 2] Shakin' and pale, my future for sale I knew the loneliness of love Feeling withdrawal all alone in the hall My heartbreak fitting like a glove You didn't want me at all [Chorus] You made me feel As though I'd lived a lie The whole world knew except me What your eyes concealed [Verse 3] I looked at your face on the pillow case The shadow smiled, then fell away Your favourite tune still haunted the room I would have bled for you to stay But you didn't want me at all [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] You made me feel As though I'd lived a lie The whole world knew except me What your eyes concealed [Verse 4] All those years of secrets and fears Meant nothin' to you but a game And the love in your eyes was nothin' but lies You let my heart break without shame [Outro] I just fell silent in the hall You never loved me at all I know the loneliness of love My heartbreak fitted like a glove Down on my knees to God above
