He says it wont be long now its gonna be alright He says he dreams about her every night When she reads his letter there's tears drops in her eyes She knows inside her heart she's reading lies His lies are better than nothing she says The truth will dawn on him one of these days He'll learn to cherish the lovin ways of one true love She seen the sad long glasses She knows what people say Say while she at home he plays away She has to keep pretending She mustn't lose control Playin the fool is the most demanding draws His lies are better than nothing she says The truth will dawn on him one of these days He'll learn to cherish the lovin ways of one true love His lies are better than nothing she says The truth will dawn on him one of these days He'll learn to cherish the lovin ways of one true love She lays awake and wonders no need to hide her tears The walls that hides her sorrows don't have ears But come tomorrow morning she'll don her dignity Her broken heart the world will never see His lies are better than nothing she says The truth will dawn on him one of these days He'll learn to cherish the lovin ways of one true love Of one true love
