How Much I Lied — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

Darling, there is one thing I must tell you, you must know

Its so hard to say the words I feel

This fancy that Im ons been going on too long

Its time to stop pretending things are real

cause Ive been living deep in sin, Ive been living blind

And I just dont know whats right or wrong

To take a chance on losing you is such a silly thing to do

A chance I might wake up and find you gone



Blue, so blue, my love is burning blue

Any private flame could be a lie

Blue, so blue, my love still burns for you

But I know Ill only make you cry



A thief can only steal from you

He cannot break your heart

He can never touch the precious things inside

Someone like you should surely be

Miles and miles away from me

Then youd never care how much I lied

So try to understand the pain

It takes so long when I explain

Please dont you forget how much I lied

How much I lied
