Mentirosa (Revisited)

(Verse 1)

Glances exchanged across the room,
Fanning the flame of mystery.
Your eyes and lips made promises of tomorrow…
Promises never meant for me.

A whisper in the dark that hovered –
That whisper that warmed my soul –
A whisper of deceit was all it was,
One that carried a heavy toll


(Chorus)

In the back of my mind, I’m thinking
This isn’t happening, this can’t be right
But I kept my mouth shut,
Hoping and praying night after night

Alone in a fragment of nothingness
Destroyed by the power of your lies
A fear beyond the possibility of comfort
Unmasks the truth behind your eyes


(Whispered Coda)

I thought you were the one
But you broke my heart
Your betrayal crushed my spirit
And with my soul you’ll never part

(Verse 2)

Took me into your arms with that caress –
Surrounded me in the warmth of your eyes.
Twisted every word until I was possessed
Possessed by the poison of your lies.

Now you’re walking out that door,
Your new lover on your arm,
And I’m left with the pieces of our life –
Your lying did nothing but harm.


(Chorus)

In the back of my mind, I’m thinking
This isn’t happening, this can’t be right
But I kept my mouth shut,
Hoping and praying night after night

Alone in a fragment of nothingness
Destroyed by the power of your lies
A fear beyond the possibility of comfort
Unmasks the truth behind your eyes


(Whispered Coda)

I thought you were the one
But you broke my heart
Your betrayal crushed my spirit
And with my soul you’ll never part


(Bridge)
Mentirosa, how’d you find me?
Girl, you knew better from the start
Promised me forever with fire in your eyes
And all you did was break my heart


(Chorus)

In the back of my mind, I’m thinking
This isn’t happening, this can’t be right
But I kept my mouth shut,
Hoping and praying night after night

Alone in a fragment of nothingness
Destroyed by the power of your lies
A fear beyond the possibility of comfort
Unmasks the truth behind your eyes


(Whispered Coda)

I thought you were the one
But you broke my heart
Your betrayal crushed my spirit
And with my soul you’ll never part

(Repeat to fade)
