I hear the lines on the telegraph

Buzz in my head

I have to shut them out

My ears to the ground

But I try to stand up

And straighten out

Forget my doubt

'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)

One little lie can go a long way (one little lie)

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 a line

That I wanted you to deny

And you'd laugh and laugh 'till 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)

One little lie can go a long way (one little lie)

Would I learn to trust again some day



Every day 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 forget the rumours

Don't shut your eyes so I won't see because



One little lie can go a long way (one little lie)

One little lie can go a long way (one little lie)

Would I learn to trust again some day



One little lie can go a long way (one little lie)

One little lie can go a long way (one little lie)

Would I learn to trust again some day
