Quote - Read Between the Lies

You came strollin' into my life
How'd you get around the wall
Make me lay down my defenses
Will this be another fall
You're disturbing my cool facade
Questioning the premise that I'm all I've got

I've been hurt by love so many times
Living in a lonely shell
Pretending I am all-sufficient
Not even honest to myself
About the lonely place inside
Cryin' for love
But livin' a lie

So if I say that I don't need you
I'll go on the same without you
There's a truth that lies
Behind my desperate alibi
Can you see my soul is empty
Can you trace the tears I hide
For my heart's sake
Read between the lies

You've heard it said that love and loss
Are two halves of the whole
And we've got to pay the piper
But the price can gouge your soul
The scars I carry show
When you get close
Oh won't you get close

So if I say that I don't need you
I'll go on the same without you
There's a truth that lies
Behind my desperate alibi
Can you see my soul is empty
Can you trace the tears I hide
For my heart's sake
Read between the lies
