Don't bring me down

the nights are so cold
and the days are way too long
my heart is worn out
and everything just feels so wrong
how could i have ever known
that you'd be so untrue
how could i have ever shown
so much love for somebody like you

you would hold me
and whisper in my ear
when you told me
you'd always keep me near
i believed those pretty lies
i believed in your lying eyes

it's been a long time
since i had the nerve to say goodbye
it's been a long, long time
since a man like you could ever make me cry
but let me tell you one thing
before i let you bring me down, i would rather die

i still remember
all the things you said were true
baby i can still recall
the way you played me for a fool
how in the darkness your promises felt so right
but in the morning they just crumbled in the light

when you love someone
you can't always see
when you really need someone
it's so hard just to let things be
when you think you really know someone
but the smoke was in your eyes
when you know you'd give it all away
for another taste of paradise

you would hold me
and whisper in my ear
when you told me
you'd always keep me near
i believed those pretty lies
i believed in your lying eyes

it's been a long time
since i had the nerve to say goodbye
it's been a long, long time
since a man like you could make a woman like me cry

you would hold me
and whisper in my ear
when you told me
you'd always keep me near
i believed those pretty lies
i believed in your lying eyes

it's been a long time
since i had the nerve to say goodbye
it's been a long, long time
since a man like you could ever make me cry
oh let me tell you one thing
before you'd bring me down, i would rather die
