I believed every word every whisper in the dark
Fell for every tale from the fire to the spark
But your sweet-talking lips hid a double-edged sword
Each I love you a lie every promise ignored
Men say men lie learned it the hardest way
A deceiver's kiss a charmer's stray
I know better now seen behind the mask
Men's mouths can lie as they carry out their task
You painted dreams in the night made them shine like gold
But the truth was a story you never truly told
Caught in your web I was blind but now I see
The man I loved wasn't who he vowed to be
Men say men lie learned it the hardest way
A deceiver's kiss a charmer's stray
I know better now seen behind the mask
Men's mouths can lie as they carry out their task
Now I'm stepping out from your shadow into light
Won't be fooled again by the honey or the bite
Your words were poison wrapped in a sweet disguise
I'm wiser now and I've cut all ties
Men say men lie learned it the hardest way
A deceiver's kiss a charmer's stray
I know better now seen behind the mask
Men's mouths can lie as they carry out their task
So here's to the truth that comes clear with pain
To the strength I found in the tears like rain
To the silence now that speaks louder than words
To the real love I'll find beyond the absurd
