Echoing whispers that shatter the night

Watching and waiting, she stands in the light

His voice in the dark, it grows ever stronger

She wonders if she can take this much longer

She strains to listen, hears the sound of her name

From the voice of another, laying the blame

Disbelief comes, as he is walking away

Disavowing that he ever wandered astray

Denying he knows her, his heart is for another

Yet, she is the one he has called his true lover

His lies, so bold, and so easily spoken

His secret, once she, now tattered and broken
