Lyrics

There on the bed
lies the pillow where she laid her pretty head
Here stands a man
with his life in little pieces in his hands
From her sweet lips
poured the lies she told with every single kiss
Somewhere he waits
wondering why it is that she's been coming home so late

Chorus
Three hearts will break
all three must live with one mistake
and these memories of you
you're sweet kisses lies and perfume

I was the one
you'd come runnin to - then you'd come undone
But I'd been deceived
when you said that you'd be leaving him for me
the reason, I'm told,
has got your blue eyes and just turned two years old
So how can it be
that I'm missing your sweet kisses, lies, and misery

Chorus
Three hearts will break
all three must live with one mistake
and these memories of you
you're kisses, your lies, and perfume

Cheating hearts will fall
it's still only losing after all
but I'll remember you
your sweet kisses, lies and perfume
