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
