Discrete..Not So Much
Your lips should be burning, yet you smile in vain
Who are you really, I don't think I know
You have been full of lies since a long time ago
New doors of life open every single day
I am closing this one, and parting my own way
It is obvious to me now, though I kinda got it before
That what we thought was friendship was masked in lies...
and so much more
It's okay that I heard you, I am pretty glad I did
Now for once you were honest and ya did even know it kid
I heard the night of last ,your true thoughts about me
Truth I like, I can handle that
But you said it not to me, but behind my back
You thought I was gone, and had freedom of speech
My ears were there, within reach
Guiltliy you slammed shut the door,
after a gulp of uh oh
you spoke of it no more
Dang it! who you say your my friend
then turn around and blade me in the back
After an hour I came back to the room
My back still bleeding, yet you still sang a happy tune
Not knowing I knew, we chatted a bit
You poured on the burning alcohol with your concerned skit.
so many things in that moment I wanted to say,
But I held my tongue and just started to pray
relieve this girl her tention so dear
help her understand these words very clear
Honsesty is a force between friends
that binds them like glue from end to end
every lie, like hot water, dissolves some of that trust
then things said like last night, apart we bust
All I ever asked in my friendship with you
is to be honest and to be true
no matter the pain it may cause me so
the truth will set you free, and I needed to know
Ready to listen is all I have ever been
that door is closed now, my humble little Friend
These words are in anger, yes that may be true
but tired is my mind of trying to figure out you
It is not the first that your voice has been heard
For my ears have resounded every word
Gleefull and happy with me to my face
Then ridiculed and tarnished in every other place
the bitter sweet symphony plays in my heart
as two worlds fly vastly apart
new friends you will soon have in another, place another town
I will pray that honesty be replaced, you lying little clown
