"Love Lies"

I was lost, then I found you, I never thought it would be this way
Showed you my heart left it unguarded, like a thief in the night you stole it away
Now you're gone the pain goes on and on, I still hear you whispering to me
Through the shadows of the night
Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines
You're running on in to a cold night, just a number to the love lies
All alone you call it survival, he lost at love to stranger's lines
Walking the streets searching with vengeance for a face that he dreams of night after night
Time goes on all signs of life stolen, simple dreams were all broken
Best of times become desperation but how many tears must you cry to survive
Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines
You're running on in to a cold night, just a number to the love lies
They met late one night in the city, both men knew only one would stay
Scratched a picture of a heart on a bullet and took his life away
Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines
You're running on in to a cold night, just a number to the love lies
