Love is a lie, love is a lie
Love is a lie, love is a lie

Hidin', hidin', but he saw her there
Cryin', cryin', mama in despair
Tryin', tryin' not to let him know
She is so alone

Waitin', when will he be home?
Prayin' for them to be whole again

He was just a little boy with an ear against the wall
Mom and dad would fight and slamming all the doors
Thinkin' he's asleep, but he's hearing every word
Lyin' wide awake, trying to figure out his worth
Got him thinkin' love is a lie, love is a lie
Love is a lie, love is a lie
Love is a lie, love is a lie
Love is a lie, love is a lie

New name, new place, new reality
No savin' grace when the enemy
Is faith unmade, build another life
By his mother's side

No more waitin', he's not comin' home
Prayin' their hope can be grown again

He was just a little boy with an ear against the wall
Mom and dad would fight and slamming all the doors
Thinkin' he's asleep, but he's hearing every word
Lyin' wide awake, trying to figure out his worth
Got him thinkin' love is a lie, love is a lie
Love is a lie, love is a lie
Love is a lie, love is a lie
Love is a lie, love is a lie

No more waitin', he's not comin' home
Prayin' their hope can be grown again

Love is a lie, love is a lie
Love is a lie, love is a lie
