When You Lie Songtext
von Patty Hurst Shifter

Once heard a sad song and I thought it reminds me of you
Don′t remember words, I only remember the tune
But it was nothing new, something about a heart beating black and blue
So hold your stained glass heart up to the light
Maybe with the sun and lucky love I'll see inside
And show me something new, knowin′
Where the best lies ring straight and true

She said, "I want you if you follow me down
Just like those old folks who lived and
Loved and died on the outskirts of town
Where our road meets the north rail and the Jones place burned down"

I said I love it when you lie
Just love it when you lie
Just love it when you lie
'Cause I, I've got a cold and bitter side


I got a few stained glass hues on this heart of mine too
Look inside and maybe find something new
Know where the best lies ring like something straight and true
I wanna love you better, but only if you love me first
Wanna love you better, but we just keep on getting worse
And I′m starting to feel like this change is some kind of curse

She said I love it when you lie
Just love it when you lie
Just love it when you lie
′Cause I, I've got a cold and bitter side

So feed me hope and lay me down
And I will never give up on you
Paint my love like a gold rush town
And I will never give up on you
Come waste my time, you might save my life
And I will never give up on you
Ooh, ooh, and I

Just love it when you lie
Just love it when you lie
Just love it when you lie
′Cause I, I just love it when you lie
Just love it when you lie
Just love it when you lie
'Cause I, I just love it when you lie
