The Magnetic Fields - Summer Lies lyrics

We used to dance like it was going out of style when you loved me for a while and I remember every word you ever said; every kiss We used to sing all the oldest songs we knew but the words were never true for you or was it all a game of solitaire played in the dark? (C): All the sweetest things you said and I believed were summer lies Hanging in the willow trees like the dead were summer lies I'll never fall in love again. I whispered too but the things I said were true and I gave up my whole world for you I gave you all the best years of my life and half the worst and now you're gone I pine and wane, pale and wan, never knowing when it's dawn, curtains drawn, hiding in my room, wasting away, cutting myself. (C)
