Story Behind The Song
When the standards for true love like in the romance novels and daydream fantasies get set too high. Anything that weakens that expectation is a lie or a disappointment. The song gives hope that there is real love and love inside you.
Song Description
Poignant rock blues song with some western and pop elements. Kind of like mixing Chris Isaak, Mr. Mister, Bryan Ferry and Mark Knopfler into the same batter.

Lyrics
TRUE LOVE IS A LIE
Morning found you sleeping in the chair.
True love kept you up and he's not there
And it only leaves you lonely again.
You poured your heart out for that special night
For one romantic dinner by the candlelight
But he left you crying in the dark.
Wasn't it a pity
Wasn't it a shame
Wasn't it a heartbreak, a mistake.
True love is a lie
It's not some romance novel.
True love is a lie.
It's true this love is a lie.
Watching the old movies late at night
Wondering what's gone wrong with your life.
Oh you want to rewrite the page.
Now you must walk from the shadows.
Don't let love make a fool of you.
Don't go on that ride,
Only you'll decide.
Don't fall for that lie.
