I swore that I'd become a better man for you And I tried, tried to change my ways And walk the line you followed I bore a flame that burned a thousand suns for you But it died Told you I could never love somebody else But I lied I lied I lied I told you I'd be coming back again for you But I'm not going way out where the world will never find me I made a claim that I would dance until we're bonds with my bride Told you I would never leave you all alone But I lied I read your letter in the morning by the lake and I cried They were tears of joy, my chains are finally broken I made a vow to stand beside you till the day that I die Told you I could never live without your love But I lied But I lied But I lied
