lyrics

Dead Girls Don't Lie

I once knew a boy
He threw my life away
But I can still talk
And I've got a lot to say
Yeah I've got a lot to say

I lie in this bed
In blankets of peat and moss
The dirt 'neath my head
He'd love to think I'm gone
Oh he'd love to think I'm gone but

Dead girls don't lie
Dead girls don't lie

It started off small
So small I could hardly see
That he'd built a wall
Between the world and me
Oh between the world and me

But it's only words
That's what he'd say to me
But words turn to shoves
And shoves turn to hits you see
Yeah shoves turn to hits you see

Dead girls don't lie
Dead girls don't lie

Well this could be any girl
And this could be any town
This could be any girl
And this could be any town

Planes fly above
And the trucks rumble by
But no-one can see me
On the ground where I lie
Oh on the ground where I lie

My story's been told
A thousand too many times
As you listen to me
Another girl like me dies
Oh another girl like me dies

Dead girls don't lie
Dead girls don't lie
Dead girls don't lie
