Every move you made before was never meant for real Over my naivety is this how I should feel? Burning with my own desire, visions that all seem so clear Now I see this in your eyes, they'll never ever be another one Don't tell me lies Don't tell me lies Looking back I realize it's always been this way We must note what has gone and never turn away When desire takes hold of me, what I've seen just sets me free Now I see this in your eyes, they'll never ever be another one Don't tell me lies Don't tell me lies Don't tell me lies Broken loose from indecision Now I'm alright on my own Still I wait from your confession I guess I'm alright on my own Don't tell me lies Don't tell me lies Don't, don't, don't tell me, Don't, don't, don't tell me Don't tell me lies
