The Lies
The lies
I lied
so that i would not have to share the sad things
and the things that would make you angry
i lied
so that i could hide the flaws
i lied
because i was afraid of the consequinces
i lied
because i did not want to see your disappointed face
i lied
for i only wanted to say things that would please you
i lied
to you mom
and every time i lie i do it to avoid the truth
but the lies seem to be dragging me deeper into the ditch we call sin
into the swamp we call punishmet
i'm sorry mom
ill do better
i wont lie
