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
