You look for truth with hopeful eyes You're asking me to tell you lies You need to hear me say the words I love you And God, you know I wish I did How can I ask what I can't give? And without love, how can I live? I need you So I'll look straight into your eyes And tell you sweet convincing lies For sympathy a child cries And breaks a woman's heart Are breezes lost that blow one way? Are seeds that fall on stony ground to waste? Do falling stars all fall in haste For nothing? Oh no, you can't lose the love you sow It may take root or never grow But in your heart you'll always know It's planted So I'll look straight into your eyes And tell you sweet convincing lies For sympathy a child cries And breaks a woman's heart No, you can't lose the love you sow It may take root or never grow But in your heart you'll always know It's planted So I'll look straight into your eyes And tell you sweet convincing lies For sympathy a child cries And breaks a woman's heart Convincing lies Convincing lies Convincing lies Convincing lies
