Free me from this restless curse
That follows me through the dark
Bring back an innocence
A strength to fill my heart
In this world of emptiness
That I have come to know

Love is only a lie, only a lie, only a lie
Love is only a lie, only a lie, only a lie
When the promise is broken
When your eyes open
Then the wind whispers and sighs
Love is a lie

My bird of paradise
Coloured in blues and gold
She's got a soul on ice
And calculation cold
This bird of avarice
Has left me now I know

Love is only a lie, only a lie, only a lie
Love is only a lie, only a lie, only a lie
When the promise is broken
When your eyes open
Then the wind whispers and sighs
Love is a lie

So breathe a last and broken sigh
Oh silent night come now to me
And if I dream of light
Come down and be with me
And in the dark we will not see

Love is only a lie, only a lie, only a lie
Love is only a lie, only a lie, only a lie
When the promise is broken
When your eyes open
Then the wind whispers and sighs
Love is a lie

Only a lie
