Sleeping on a Bed of Lies

once I thought that I'd found love
the kind you're always dreaming of
it seemed so perfect from the start
but then it broke my heart

now, whatever I thought it was
I had only deceived myself
and I was simply sleeping on a bed of lies

once I thought it good to hold
fine silver coins in pots of gold
eventually, as time went by
that did not satisfy

now, whatever I thought it was
I had only deceived myself
and I was simply sleeping on a bed of lies

once I thought my faith was right
the only way to see the light
but gradually my sense returned
because I lived and learned

now, whatever I thought it was
I had only deceived myself
and I was simply sleeping on a bed of lies
