Lyrics

I fall asleep by the telephone.
It's 2 o'clock and I'm waiting up alone.
And tell me where have you been?

I found a note with another name.
You blow a kiss, but it just don't feel the same.
'Cause I can feel that you're gone.

Can't bite my tongue forever,
While you try to play it cool.
You can hide behind your story,
But don't take me for a fool.

[Chorus]
You can tell me that there's nobody else. [but I feel it]
You can tell me that you're home by yourself. [but I see it]
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know, I know, your love is just a...lie. [lie x2]
It's nothing but a...lie. [lie x2]

You look so innocent,
But the guilt in your voice gives you away.
Yeah, you know what I mean.
How does it feel when you kiss when you know that I trust you.
And do you think about me when he fucks you?
Could you be more obscene?

So don't try to say you're sorry,
Or try to make it right.
Don't waste your breath because it's too late, it's too late.

You can tell me that there's nobody else. [but I feel it]
You can tell me that you're home by yourself. [but I see it]
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But i know, i know, your love is just a...lie. [lie] lie [lie]
It's nothing but a...lie [lie] lie [lie]
You're nothing but a LIE!


You can tell me that there's nobody else. [but I feel it]
You can tell me that you're home by yourself. [but I see it]
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
but I know, [know x2]
I know, your love is just a lie. [know]
I know, you're nothing but a...lie! [lie!] lie! [lie!]
You're nothing but a...lie! [lie!] lie! [lie!]
Your love is just a...LIE!

Why choose this song?

I chose this song as well because I wanted a variety of genres and styles, and this differs from my other choices. The band Simple Plan are an American band, and although they are quite well known in the US, they are not so wide spread in the UK. This song does already have a video, however it is not as popular anymore as the song is quite old; although still contemporary. I really like the pace of this song, and I think that the pace and lyrics together would work really well in creating a narrative story; which is good as the illustration style of a music video is personally my favourite type of video.
