Some love is just a lie of the heart
У некоторых любовь - всего лишь ложь сердца
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
Холод остается от того, что начиналось со страстного старта
And they may not want it to end
А они может и не хотят, чтобы она закончилась,
But it will; it's just a question of when
Но она закончится; это лишь вопрос времени

I've lived long enough to have learned
Я прожил достаточно долго, чтобы узнать
The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned
Что чем ближе ты к огню, тем больше обжигаешься
But that won't happen to us
Но этого не случится с нами
Because it's always been a matter of trust
Потому что это всегда было вопросом доверия

I know you're an emotional girl
Я знаю, ты эмоциональная девушка
It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world
Тебе потребовалось много (пережить), чтобы не потерять свою веру в этот мир
I can't offer you proof
Я не могу предложить тебе доказательство
But you're going to face a moment of truth
Но ты встретишься лицом к лицу с моментом истины

It's hard when you're always afraid
You just recover when another belief is betrayed
So break my heart if you must
It's a matter of trust

You can't go the distance
With too much resistance
I know you have doubts
But for God's sake don't shut me out

This time you've got nothing to lose
You can take it, you can leave it
Whatever you choose
I won't hold back anything
And I'll walk away a fool or a king
Some love is just a lie of the mind
It's make believe until it's only a matter of time
And some might have learned to adjust
But then it never was a matter of trust

I'm sure you're aware love
We've both had our share of
Believing too long
When the whole situation was wrong

Some love is just a lie of the soul
A constant battle for the ultimate state of control
After you've heard lie upon lie
There can hardly be a question of why
Some love is just a lie of the heart
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
But that can't happen to us
Because it's always been a matter of trust
