I Lied
I lied
said it was okay for you to go
but in my heart
surely you did know
I did it for your peace and rest
escape from the last great test.
Too long the pain endured
as your soul was cleansed and pured
by the suffering and pain
what was left to gain?
I lied
said I had said
everything that was needed
but in the end you had succeeded
taking my heart
as you finished playing your part.
I lied
said my final goodbyes
and I promised to remember
holding back my tears and cries.
Alone now
I know the truth
I lied.
