Silver Shoes HOW MUCH I’VE LIED {Gram Parsons} Darling there is something I must tell you you must know But it’s so hard to say the words I feel This fancy that I’m on has 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 don’t know just what’s right or wrong To take a chance on losing you was such a silly thing to do The chance I might wake up and find you gone Blue so blue my love is burning blue Any brighter flame would be a lie Blue so blue my love still burns for you But I know that I’ll only make you cry (chorus) A thief can only steal from you he cannot break your heart He’ll never touch the precious things inside So one like you should surely be miles and miles away from me Then you’d never care how much I’ve lied So try to understand the pain it takes so long when I explain Please don’t you forget how much I’ve lied
