I said I’d always be right here
Through every storm through every tear
But now you’re standing all alone
And I’m a ghost already gone
I swore I’d never walk away
But promises can bend and break
Now all that’s left are hollow words
Echoes of the past that hurt
The lie I told you still lingers in the air
A whisper of a love that was never really there
I painted dreams with colors bright
But left you in the endless night
The lie I told you was just a fantasy
A perfect world that was never meant to be
I traced your name upon the sand
Knowing waves would wash it bland
I held your heart but let it fall
I never meant to love at all
I swore I’d never walk away
But promises can bend and break
Now all that’s left are hollow words
Echoes of the past that hurt
The lie I told you still lingers in the air
A whisper of a love that was never really there
I painted dreams with colors bright
But left you in the endless night
The lie I told you was just a fantasy
A perfect world that was never meant to be
If I could turn back time
Would I still tell the same old lie
Or would I find a way to stay
Instead of letting love decay
The lie I told you still lingers in the air
A whisper of a love that was never really there
I painted dreams with colors bright
But left you in the endless night
The lie I told you was just a fantasy
A perfect world that was never meant to be
The lie I told you fades into the past
A broken truth that couldn’t last
I walk away but in your eyes
I see the pain of last goodbyes
