A Little Lie

i need to lie i wish i didn't need to i wish i could admit my failure to you i wish you could accept my best and hold me in your arms and let my tears drench your shirt but i can't i can't tell you the truth that i tried my best and failed once again that all that time and money was for nothing but i wish i didn't have to lie i wish these words could be born from facts and not a dream floating in my head i hate to lie to you but what i hate more is to hear what i heard i million times it's a waste give up quit your not good enough i can't hear those words again it would hurt more than lieing to my own father i'm sorry for you that you don't have the heart to love your daughter for who she is
