I knew the game was over before the rules were set
I've never been a winner, I didn't want to play
I thought there was a way out, but there's no exit from this maze
Where every path is the wrong turn, and every choice is a mistake

I lied to the Lord, I lied to myself, I lied to you and everyone I care
Until there were no more lies to tell
Cowardice is easier than being brave
But at last I found the strength I lost to sing my love letter to you
'Cause people can lie, but my lone heart beats true

It was a simple question, my answer came too late
And every time I said no, I wanted to say yes
They say speak your mind, tell the truth, but there is room for each regret
So many fears to overcome, so little time to conquer them

I lied to the Lord, I lied to myself, I lied to you and everyone I care
Until there were no more lies to tell
Cowardice is easier than being brave
But at last I found the strength I lost to sing my love letter to you
'Cause people can lie, but my lone heart beats true

The ghost of guilt and sorrow remembers who I am
And in the prison of my heart I was my only slave
But in the depths of my cold soul I leave the burden and despair
I'll fight for what's worth fighting for

Forget the fear, forget the rest

I lied to the Lord, I lied to myself, I lied to you and everyone I care
Until there were no more lies to tell
Cowardice is easier than being brave
But at last I found the strength I lost to sing my love letter to you
'Cause people can lie, but my lone heart beats true
