I Fell in Love With a Lie

Story Behind The Song

My boyfriend and I had been dating for five months, and there was something really suspicious about him, though I refused to think about it because I was so in love. He lied about everything, and would get really confused and lost in his intricate web of lies. Five months into our relationship, I found out that he had another girlfriend, and had stolen from me and my family.

Lyrics

We gave it a chance after I waited
for once in my life I was elated.

You opened my eyes to unforeseen
you opened my heart so lovingly
so how was a girl like me to know?

I fell in love with a lie
in love with a guy I thought knew
in love with love not just with you

I fell in love with a lie
is there no guilt within your soul?
Took long enough,
but now I know
I was only in love with a lie

mmmm
you were a lie

We never had the trust we needed
I wasted tears,
you begged and pleaded
so clear when I refused to see
the truth was right in front of me
Thought I was the one,
try honesty

I fell in love with a lie
in love with a guy I thought knew
in love with love not just with you

I fell in love with a lie
is there no guilt within your soul?
Took long enough,
but now I know
I was only in love with a lie

You say love is all you need
but I'm not sure what to believe
I've lost faith in destiny
If the truth shall set you free
plan to live in misery
trapped in love you'll always be

I fell in love with a lie
in love with a guy I thought knew
in love with love not just with you

I fell in love with a lie
is there no guilt within your soul?
Took long enough,
but now I know
I was only in love with a lie

I was only in love with a lie
