I’ve Lied – Archie Roach
                                          
                                           
Sitting here in this lonely old guest house
                                                     
I’m sure that my life is all through
                                         
Scratching fleas and watching a grey mouse
                                                        
I’m making love to the memory of you
                                          
                                          
For without you I’m weak and uncertain
                                               
And I feel so naked and cold
                                          
Like a window without any curtains
                                               
My innermost feelings unfold
                                          
                                         
The drink I just had
                                                 
It wasn’t as bad as the first
                                          
And drinking won’t do
                                                  
When it’s only for you I thirst, I thirst
                                          
                                         
For your kiss it quenches all burning
                                                             
And it’s sweeter than the sweetest of wine
                                         
Now you’re gone I find myself yearning
                                                  
For the love that I left behind
                                          
  
Nobody can heal 
                                                
The pain that I feel inside
                                              
And if I said I’m strong
                                         
And I’m never wrong – I lied, I lied... I lied
