I was lost, then I found you
Never thought it would be this way
I showed you my heart, left it unguarded
Like a thief in the night you stole it away

Now you're gone, the pain goes on and on
I still hear you whispering to me through the shadows of the night

Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines
 [bad word] on into a cold night
You're just a number of the love lies

All alone you call it survival
He lost at love to a stranger's lines
Walking the streets, searching with vengeance
For a face that he dreams of night after night

Time goes on, all signs of life stolen, simple dreams were all broken
Best of times [bad word] desperation but how many tears must you cry to survive

Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines
 [bad word] on into a cold night
You're just a number of the love lies

They met late one night in the city
Both men knew only one would stay
Scratched a picture of a heart on a bullet
And took his life away

Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines
 [bad word] on into a cold night
You're just a number of the love lies
