Beautiful Liar

The beautiful liar so slick and so swift Enters the mind and makes the walls shift Planting seeds of hope into desert sands Knowing full well they won't grow in dead land Whispered lies of passion and love now bleed truth The knife stabbed in my heart becomes all my proof Your lies they consumed me and devoured my soul But now they bleed out and I regain full control Games played with words from a boy immature Playing along, I was completely sure... I was sure Enjoying the moments sporadically given Time after time he was always forgiven His tongue lined with lies fed me pure satisfaction From sense, the excuses did work for distraction Use me and drop me then use me again I'm sorry, I love you, it was all just pretend Beautiful Liar
