The Magnetic Fields, Susan Anway - Summer Lies lyrics
[The Magnetic Fields, Susan Anway - Summer Lies lyrics]
We used to dance
Like it was going out of style
When you loved me for a while
And I remember every word you ever said
Every kiss
We used to sing all the oldest songs we knew
But the words were never true for you
Or was it all a game of
Solitaire played in the dark?
All the sweetest things you said
And I believed were summer lies
Hanging in the willow trees
Like the dead, were summer lies
I'll never fall in love again
I whispered, too
But the things I said were true
And I gave up my whole world for you
I gave you all the best years of my life
And half the worst and now you're gone
I pine and wane, pale and wan
Never knowing when it's dawn
Curtains drawn, hiding in my
Room wasting away, cutting myself
All the sweetest things you said
And I believed were summer lies
Hanging in the willow trees
Like the dead, were summer lies
I'll never fall in love again
Like it was going out of style
When you loved me for a while
And I remember every word you ever said
Every kiss
We used to sing all the oldest songs we knew
But the words were never true for you
Or was it all a game of
Solitaire played in the dark?
All the sweetest things you said
And I believed were summer lies
Hanging in the willow trees
Like the dead, were summer lies
I'll never fall in love again
I whispered, too
But the things I said were true
And I gave up my whole world for you
I gave you all the best years of my life
And half the worst and now you're gone
I pine and wane, pale and wan
Never knowing when it's dawn
Curtains drawn, hiding in my
Room wasting away, cutting myself
All the sweetest things you said
And I believed were summer lies
Hanging in the willow trees
Like the dead, were summer lies
I'll never fall in love again
