I hear the lines on the telegraph
Buzz in my head
I have to shut them out
My ears to the ground
But I try to stand up
And straighten out
Forget my doubt
‘Cos I couldn’t bear to lose you
You’re the only one I care for
But I can’t lock out the rumours
I shut my eyes so I won’t see because
One little lie can go a long way (one little lie)
One little lie can go a long way (one little lie)
Would I learn to trust again some day
I try to ask but my tongue gets tied
When I guess the answer
If you turned you head away from me
I know I’d stand there forever
Caught out in time by a line
That I wanted you to deny
And you’d laugh and laugh ’till I cried and cried
I can’t shut out the rumours
Burning inside me all the time
One little lie can go a long way (one little lie)
One little lie can go a long way (one little lie)
Would I learn to trust again some day
Every day turning away
I feel something new
If I can’t put my trust in you then
We’ve got nothing worth hanging on to
It’s hard to talk sometimes now
You seem so far away
Am I losing my mind
Oh help me please
Say it’s not true what the people say
It hurts
In my heart
‘Cos I couldn’t bear to lose you
You’re the only one I care for
But I can’t forget the rumours
Don’t shut your eyes so I won’t see because
One little lie can go a long way (one little lie)
One little lie can go a long way (one little lie)
Would I learn to trust again some day
One little lie can go a long way (one little lie)
One little lie can go a long way (one little lie)
Would I learn to trust again some day
