everybody held their breath the moment
you walked through that door
everybody thought that I would crumble
when you said hello
but I know something that they don't know
I've learnt the art of not letting the heartache show

I am the man who learnt how to lie
Made everyone think that I'm alright
I am the man who managed to smile
Fooling the world for a little while
Seeing her tonight starts this hurting inside
I guarantee that she'll never know
'Cause I am the man who learnt how to lie

I walk across the room to show
the two of them how cool I am
Trying not to stare at the ring
that's there on her left hand
I see the light of his love in her eyes
God, I practiced this moment a million times

I am the man who learnt how to lie
Made everyone think that I'm alright
I am the man who managed to smile
Fooling the world for a little while
Seeing her tonight starts this hurting inside
I guarantee that she'll never know
'Cause I am the man who learnt how to lie

Someday I won't be a liar
I'll let my heart feel the fire
Of falling in love again
But until then

I am the man who learnt how to lie
I made everyone think that I'm alright
I am the man who managed to smile
Fooling the world for a little while
Seeing her tonight starts this hurting inside
I guarantee that she'll never know
'Cause I am the man who learnt how to lie

I am the man who learnt how to lie
