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 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 your head away from me
I know I'd stand there forever
Vaught out in time by a 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 . . .

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 hear
¡®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 . . .
