I hear the lines on the telegraph 
Buzz in my head 
I have to shut them out 
My ears to the the ground 
But I try to stand up 
And straighten out 
Forget mu doubts 
?Cos I couldn?t bear to lose you 
You?re the only one I care for 
But I can?t lock out the rumours 
I shut my eyes so I won?t see because 

One little lie can go a long way 
One little lie can go a long way 
Would I learn to trust again some day 

I try to ask but my tongue gets tied 
When I guess the answer 
If you turned you head away from me 
I know I?d stand there forever 
Caught out in time by line 
That I wanted you to deny 
And you?d laught and laugh ?til I cried and cried 
I can?t shut out the rumours 
Burning inside me all the time 

One little lie can go a long way 
One little lie can go a long way 
Would I learn to trust again some day 

Every day is turning away 
I feel something new 
If I can?t put my trust in you then 
We?ve got nothing worth hanging on to 
It?s hard to talk sometimes now 
You seem so far away 
Am I losing my mind 
Oh Help me please 
Say it?s not true what the people say 
It hurts 
In my heart 
?Cos I couldn?t bear to lose you 
You?re the only one I care for 
But I can?t lock out the rumours 
I shut my eyes so I won?t see because 

One little lie can go a long way 
One little lie can go a long way 
Would I learn to trust again some day
