Lyrics
3 Chords And A Lie
He came along with a smile and a song
And a voice that came from within
She heard him sing, forgot everything
Left home , surrendered to him
But after a while, the song and the smile
Just masked the truth 'bout that guy
She soon found out what he was about
It was just 3 chords and a lie
Chorus
The heart is easily broken
But it takes much longer to mend
Take it from one who lets their heart run
To be broken again and again
Doesn't matter the hurt that often occurred
When the dream dies in the dust
If the heart is engaged and trapped in a cage
To follow your dreams is a must
Verse
And every night the singer delights
With tales of heartache and pain
Does his audience know that after the show
One of them will feel the same
For that singer will find that an innocent mind
To that innocence will say goodbye
And will abandon their dreams for his selfish schemes
Of just 3 chords and a lie
Chorus
The heart is easily broken
but it takes much longer to mend
Take it from one who lets their heart run
To be broken again and again
Doesn't matter the hurt that often occurred
When the dream dies in the dust
If the heart is engaged and trapped in a cage
To follow your dreams is a must
Verse
How often in truth does a singer seduce
Someone held in his sway
Will that person give in to that feeling within
That says everything will be ok
Only to find not so far down the line
The truth will soon crash and die
And all that is left in that poor heart bereft
Is just 3 chords and a lie
And all that is left in that poor heart bereft
Is just 3 chords and a lie
