My Lyin’ Heart by Melodie Yvonne

Was it just my lyin’ heart lyin’ ‘bout you
It’s everything up in my brain that says that we’re through
Still all that noise ain’t louder than this heart pumpin’ fuel
But is it just my lyin’ heart lyin’ ‘bout you?

I needed you way more than you could ever know
I fell for you much harder than I’d ever show
But how could I have known that you’d just up and go
I don’t know how I’ll ever make it on my own

Was it just my lyin’ heart lyin’ ‘bout you?
I never thought you’d do to me what you could do
I didn’t wanna know the things I never knew
I hid behind my lyin’ heart lyin’ ‘bout you

I still dream that you’ll come back and we’ll be one day
I close my eyes and sometimes still can see your face
But with each day I open them it fades and fades
So somedays I just keep ‘em closed to make you stay

Is it just my lyin’ heart lyin’ ‘bout you?
It’s everything up in my brain that says we’re through
Still all that noise ain’t louder than this heart pumpin’ fuel
But maybe it’s my lyin’ heart lyin’ ‘bout you
