Lying Through His Heart

Copyright 1998 Michael W Lemaster


V1

I never heard him tell a lie
He went regular to church
I though the man woulda rather died
Than to ever break his word
But when she up and left him
When she told him goodbye
He took the truth, shot it straight to hell
And now all he does is lie

Chorus:

He's been tellin' that she's gonna come back soon
Even though he knows that she's not
Then he'll tell the one 'bout her bein' lonely too
'Cause the truth would just tear him apart
So he's lying through his heart

V2

I saw him out this afternoon
And I asked him how he's been
He looked at me and didn't bat an eye
As I heard him lie again
He said that he's been doin' fine
And everything'll be all right
But now he had to hurry home
'Cause she's gonna call tonight

Chorus:

He's been tellin' that she's gonna come back soon
Even though he knows that she's not
Then he'll tell the one 'bout her bein' lonely too
'Cause the truth would just tear him apart
So he's lying through his heart

Bridge:

No, you can't believe a word
When it comes to her
He couldn't tell the truth if he tried
No, He can't face the fact
She's gone and that's that
He just keeps on tellin' all those lies

Chorus:

He's been tellin' that she's gonna come back soon
Even though he knows that she's not
Then he'll tell the one 'bout her bein' lonely too
'Cause the truth would just tear him apart
So he's lying through his heart

Tag:
Yeah, he's lying through his heart
