Best Kept Lies

(Album: East - 1980)

I'm Losing myself nightly
'Cause No-one's telling me just where you are
You Got me like a fever
And moving like you've got too far
Used to shine so brightly
All is fading now as time goes on
Just when I think I hear ya
I look around and you'll be gone
Be gone, well.

You got this thing for leaving
Just as I'm about to really know someone
I'd like to help you with your searching
Don't you know you're not the only one

Hanging all alone
With your best kept lies
Say you're coming home
Give it one more try

You let me know discretely
I ain't nothing when you're not with me
Once I'd have to call ya
Now all that's left's a mystery
Saying goodbyes only
Gonna leave me wondering endlessly
Were you really here
Or someone I am
Yet to see

You got this thing for leaving
Just as I'm about to really know someone
I'd like to help you with your searching
Don't you know you're not the only one

Hanging all alone
With your best kept lies
Say you're coming home
Give it one more try
