you lie in the heat of a summer haze

and turn it into a winter's tale

you pull down the blinds and shut out the sky

and do what you can to turn the whole thing grey

you're crying and pleading and you're hell just to be with

and you're everything that i'll ever need

so why do you say you love me when you don't?

you fall back into the english way

of feeling only guilt 'cause you feel no pain

you sit and you stare at the empty page

and then you fill it with verse, make the whole thing worse

you lie and you cheat your own mind to believing

that you don't need anything or anyone

so why do you say you love me when you don't?

and why should i feel blue when i do?

why?

you lie in the heat of a summer haze

and turn it into a winter's tale

you fall back into the english way

of feeling only guilt 'cause you feel no pain

you're crying and pleading and you're hell just to be with

and you're everything that i'll ever need

so why do you say you love me when you don't?

why should i feel...

and who's gonna love the loveless if not you?

why?

why?
