"The Lie" lyrics

You and I
A story from another time
About a soul caught in between
And a love unknown to me

Saw me standing by the sea
Watched the waves wash over me
They played Dancing in the Moonlight
It was all there ever was

And I tried and I tried
And I told you yes until we die
Something old and something new
And a promise to be true, but I lied

Nightingale, the truth was just too hard to tell
I wish you'd never made me feel
These tears pouring over me

Dreamed about an open sky
One that only youth could find
And it was bright and it was new
It was perfect just like you

And I tried and I tried
And I told you yes until we die
Something old and something new
And a promise to be true

And I tried and I tried
And I told you yes until we die
Something old and something new
And a promise to be true
Yes, I lied, yes, I lied
