Lyrics
I never lied to you baby, I only lied to myself
I never lied to you baby, I only lied to myself
You're the only one I need, I never loved nobady else.
I strumbled like blind man, never saw what could have been mine
I strumbled like blind man, never saw what could have been mine
The man who will not see, is the one who's truly blind.
There's no lie quite as evil, as the one you tell yourself
There's no lie quite as evil, as the one you tell yourself
Now that the truth has broken through, got to learn to live all by myself.
It's a harder cross to bear, babe, when you do it to yourself,
It's a harder cross to bear, babe, when you build it for yourself,
Now I know what I really want, my baby's with somebody else.
