Annie Haslam's Renaissance - Love Lies, Love Dies lyrics

I thought love so gentle, so pure I knew love so sweet and so secure Turning with an open heart With a touch we would never be apart So much love just gone slipped away So much pain to see that love betrays I will never love again For love lies, and it will die in the end If I knew then what I know now If I had known it all somehow Always believing love is deceiving I could have held my shattered dreams Seen all the things I should have seen Now I know love lies Now I know love is bound to die Flames of love now ash just drifts away Here I am: I'm lost, and love's astray I can never love again For love lied and then it died in the end [Chorus:] I thought I saw love in his eyes But now I know that love just lies Leaving me hollow, nothing to follow So I will never give my heart And I will be a woman apart Now I know love lies Now I know love is bound to die And love was nothing but a need Devoured by an empty greed The ashes fill my empty heart I will always stand apart This from love's beguiling mask A kiss, the questions never asked And now I know that love just lies I know love is bound to die [Chorus]
