Lies of Armour
THE PHONE RANG AFTER MIDNIGHT
YOU CALLED TO ASK ME HOW I'VE BEEN
THE LONELIEST HOUR OF A BROKEN HEART
AND YOU WANT TO BE MY FRIEND?
I'M GLAD YOU WEREN'T BESIDE ME
TO LOOK ME IN THE EYE
'CUZ FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I'VE KNOWN YOU
ALL I COULD DO WAS LIE
I SAID THE KIDS ARE BOTH FINE
AND THEIR SCHOOL IS GOING WELL
THEY DON'T ASK ME 'BOUT YOU
AND I'M NOT GOING THROUGH HELL
NO, I'M NOT FEELING LONELY
I DON'T THINK OF YOUR TOUCH
I DON'T LONG FOR YOUR KISSES
AND I DON'T MISS YOU THAT MUCH
YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE DOING OKAY
AND THAT YOUR WORK WAS GOING GOOD
YOU ASKED IF YOU COULD CALL AGAIN
AND I LIED AS BEST I COULD
SURE, YOU CAN CALL ME
BUT I WON'T WAIT BY THE PHONE
I WON'T CHECK THE ANSWERING MACHINE
AS SOON AS I GET HOME
I WON'T FEEL YOUR WHISPERS
STILL FALLING ON MY SKIN
AND I WOULD NEVER CONSIDER
MAKING LOVE TO YOU AGAIN
BECAUSE THE KIDS ARE BOTH FINE
AND THEIR SCHOOL IS GOING WELL
THEY DON'T ASK ME 'BOUT YOU
AND I'M NOT GOING THROUGH HELL
NO, I'M NOT FEELING LONELY
I DON'T THINK OF YOUR TOUCH
I DON'T LONG FOR YOU KISSES
AND I DON'T MISS YOU THAT MUCH
