Free me from this restless curse   That follows me through the dark   Bring back an innocence   A strength to fill my heart   In this world of emptiness   That I have come to know      Love is only a lie   Only a lie, only a lie   Love is only a lie   Only a lie, only a lie      When the promise is broken   When your eyes are open   Then the wind whispers and sighs   Love is a lie      My bird of paradise   Colored in blues and gold   She's got a soul on ice   And calculation cold   This bird of avarice   Has left me now I know      Love is only a lie   Only a lie, only a lie   Love is only a lie   Only a lie, only a lie      When the promise is broken   When your eyes are open   When the wind whispers and sighs   Love is a lie      So, breathe a last and broken sigh   Oh, silent night come now to me   And if I dream of light   Come down and be with me   And in the dark we will not see      Love is only a lie   Only a lie, only a lie   Love is only a lie   Only a lie, only a lie      When the promise is broken   When your eyes open   When the wind whispers and cries   Love is a lie, only a lie
