How Much I Lied Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Darling, there is one thing I must tell you, you must know 

It's so hard to say the words I feel 

This fancy that I'm on's been going on too long 

It's time to stop pretending things are real 

'Cause I've been living deep in sin, I've been living blind 

And I just don't know what's right or wrong 

To take a chance on losing you is such a silly thing to do 

A chance I might wake up and find you gone 

Blue, so blue, my love is burning blue 

Any private flame could be a lie 

Blue, so blue, my love still burns for you 

But I know I'll only make you cry 

A thief can only steal from you, he cannot break your heart 

He can never touch the precious things inside 

Someone like you should surely be miles and miles away from me 

Then you'd never care how much I lied 

So try to understand the pain, it takes so long when I explain 

Please don't you forget how much I lied
