"BY HIS OWN LIPS" by David Guilbault
Betrayed - by his own lips.
He was afraid – she would get hip.
Now he’s been made. – He’s shown his kiss
To be blue.
Betrayed – by his own lips.
He played fast and loose – with the sweet fibs.
Now he’s about to lose – all the kind bliss
He once knew.
Betrayed. Betrayed.
By his own lips.
By his own lips. Betrayed.
It’s strange – ‘cause he knew this.
It was deranged – to even try and wish
That he could change – from the lying lover
He was.
Damage done – ain’t no goin’ back.
What’s done is done. – What’s fact is fact.
I tell you, son – He did this
To himself, to himself.
Betrayed. Betrayed.
By his own lips.
By his own lips. Betrayed.
Betrayed - by his own lips.
His heart, they say – wasn’t into this.
So comes this day. – He’s shown his kiss
To be blue.
Damage done – ain’t no goin’ back.
What’s done is done. – What’s fact is fact.
I tell you, son – He did this
To himself, to himself.
Betrayed.

I Have to Lie

"I HAVE TO LIE" by David Guilbault
The teardrops well - behind my eyes.
You can’t tell – what is wrong.
The heartaches swell. Take away my breath.
The cuts are deep. The hurt is strong.
I have to lie to get through,
All these lonely nights
That I spend with you.
I have to lie to get through.
I am so tired – of who we are.
We are scarred - In silent pain.
It’s been hard – hanging on this long.
Hiding wounds of doubt and shame.
I have to lie to get through,
All these punishing nights
That I spend with you.
I have to lie to get through.
We need to let go – this unholy vow.
Why don’t you know this - to be true?
Lies take their toll. There’s no more now
That can make this right for me and you.
I have to lie to get through,
All these cunning nights
That I spend with you.
I have to lie to get through.
I have to lie to get through,
All these lonely nights
That I spend with you.
I have to lie to get through.

Love, Unfastened

"LOVE, UNFASTENED" by David Guilbault
The carpet smells of cigarettes
And dirty tales of lust.
I really shouldn’t be here.
Your perfume makes me a drunken man.
I cannot stand. I fall
Into the darkness.
Well, take off all your clothes.
We’re in this, heaven knows.
The room is cold, the sheets are worn,
Our hearts are torn and tired
From all the lying.
We tell ourselves that this is love.
But, it ain’t love at all
That keeps us coming.
So, take off all your clothes.
We’re in this, heaven knows.
Before this night is through I’ll wash away
The scent of you to hide
The stain of passion.
We’ll kiss goodbye while others wait
At home alone and cry
From love unfastened.
Now, take off all your clothes.
We’re in this, heaven knows.
The carpet smells of cigarettes
And dirty tales of lust.
I really shouldn’t be here.

You've Been With Him

"YOU'VE BEEN WITH HIM" by David Guilbault
Do you think that I don’t know
When you tell me all those lies?
Do you think that it doesn’t show
Right through your hiding eyes?
Well, I know what you’re doin’.
And I know where you’ve been.
You’ve been with him.
Don’t you know tjat when you come back home
You smell of dark desire?
Don’t you know that you’re as cold as stone
When I try to start a fire?
Well I know what you’re doin’.
And I know where you’ve been.
You’ve been with him.
No need to take me for a fool.
You’re out there playing by your own rules.
I know it’s just a passing game.
There ain’t no sense to call the blame.
Don’t you think that you’ll break our love
With your nights of loveless lies?
Don’t you think that for the sake of us
You need to tell that man goodbye?
‘Cause I still love you darling.
And I’ve loved you even when …
You’ve been with him.

The Way You Looked

"THE WAY YOU LOOKED" by David Guilbault
I saw the way he looked at you tonight.
I saw the way you looked back.
There’s just no way that you can keep it from me now.
You don’t love me like that.
‘Twas the time when I knew the way you looked
Could fill my heart with love’s delight.
Now’s the time that he took your love away.
Your love for me’s nowhere in sight.
Oh, the way you looked.
The way you loved.
I can see the lies behind your look.
Your eyes betray an untrue smile.
I know you did not want to go and break my heart.
But that’s the way it goes sometimes.
Oh, the way you looked.
The way you loved.
I saw the way he looked at you tonight.
I saw the way you looked back.
There’s just no cause for you to keep it from me now.
Your love for me ain’t coming back.
Oh, the way you looked.
The way you loved.
I saw the way he looked at you tonight.
I saw the way you looked back.

"I'VE SAID ENOUGH" by David Guilbault
There ain’t nothing new
That I can say to you.
There ain’t nothing new, no more.
I got nothing to say
That’ll make it all be ok,
You know you’ve heard it all before.
I’ve said enough.
Maybe I have said too much.
I’ve said all that I should say.
I’ve said enough.
What would you like to hear?
You wanna tell me, dear?
Don’t you think you know the truth by now?
I can’t lie, no more.
This time it’s out the door.
Let hollow words fall to the ground.
I’ve said enough.
Maybe I have said too much.
I’ve said all that I should say.
I’ve said enough.
