[Lyric] Nothin but a Liar (Mark Erelli)

Stand closer to the fire
Walk out on that wire
Go on and climb a ladder to the stars
But I only got burned
And came crashing back to earth
My heart ain't nothin' but a liar

Buck up and be a man
Go and ask her to dance
Sometimes you got to gamble on desire
But she waltzed right out the door
Took all I had and more
My heart ain't nothin' but a liar

You got to follow they say
But it leads me astray
Sometimes it's got a mind of its own

It ain't no northern star
Or a lighthouse in the dark
My heart ain't nothin' but a liar
You got to follow they say
But it leads me astray
Sometimes it's got a mind of its own

I'd cut it out if I could
And be done with love for good
But you can't have no rose without thе briar
My heart ain't nothin' but a liar
