"Just Because You Lied" Lyrics

(Gilles Fahy/Philippe Revello)

Shall I prove myself that I'm getting better
Who wants it so scarce when History is over?
Who believed in me? Who believed in you?
Just Because You Lied, Just Because You Lied.
With a shot-burnt face in the teething summer
Full whole weeks in the shed with four more in a chamber.
Who believed in me? Who believed in you?
Just Because You Lied, Just Because You Lied.

What's after shame for a tiny tin soldier?
Who looks in the shade when the sordid is over?
Who believed in me? Who believed in you?
Just Because You Lied, Just Because You Lied.
That's all that they said when I took it over.
For where would I leave the shame, would I take it further?
Who believed in me? Who believed in you?
Just Because You Lied, Just Because You Lied.

So without further ado, with some body colder
Why should I live in a cage with so many left bones asunder?
Who believed in me? Who believed in you?
Just Because You Lied, Just Because You Lied.

Who believed in me? Who believed in you?
Just Because You Lied, Just Because You Lied.
