lyrics

I will not lie to you, these words will be true
Assistance aside, no fabrication,
This is the truth

Sat by the window, watching the birds go,
Watching the people walk home
I knew I loved her then and there
I knew I loved her, touched her hair

Why must we love in shackles
Why must we hide in a house
I sleep like a baby and wake like a man
Why must she love someone else
Why must she love someone else

I will not lie to you, these words will be true
I will not lie to you, these words will be true
