I was lost, then I found you
I never thought it would be this way.
Showed you my heart, I left it unguarded,
Like a thief in the night you stole it away.
Now you're gone, the pain goes on and on.
I still hear you whispering to me through
the shadows of the night.
Chorus:
Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines.
You're running on into a cold night.
You're just a number of the love lies.
All alone you call it survival
He lost at love to a stranger's lines
Walking the streets, searching with vengeance
For a face that he dreams of night after night
Time goes on, all signs of life stolen
Simple dreams were all broken
Best of times become desperation
But how many tears must you cry to survive?
chorus (x2)
They met late one night in the city.
Both men knew only one would stay.
Scratched a picture of a heart on a bullet
And took his life away.
chorus (x2)
