Your Lies

This ache in my heart The pain that I feel It tears me apart I don’t think I’ll heal. The lies that you tell Sure hurt to the core It won’t help to yell Just walk out the door. This game that you play You think you have won No words can you say For you fool no one. If this is the road Through life that you choose For you have been told Stay away from booze. The money you’ve spent That should have been saved We’ve given and lent Your bills we have paid. The oath that you took So special and true The hands that you shook Mean nothing to you. “He’s smart and He’s bright” From people I heard “He’ll go far in life” If you kept your word. You know right from wrong Yet go with the pack You follow along You don’t turn your back. “I’m sorry” you say Each time you are caught This isn’t the way That you have been taught. You’re out on your own Some days can be tough You lie on the phone And I’ve had enough. You say you love me You look in my eyes Although I can see Right through all your lies. This path that you’re on Will hurt in the end You’ve become this con My heart will not mend. The choice you must make Be honest not lie The right path to take Or just say good bye. We have always said Beside you we’d stay Choose to lie instead We’ll just walk away. Your future you hold Which path you will choose For you have been told You’ve a lot to lose.
