He Lied

Head in the sand, 
Hands tied back,
Heart on the ground,
Have what I lacked

Every lie told
Every word spoke
Each little touch
Each making me choke

Letting my tears flow
Laying on the ground
"Let me die here"
"Let me please never be found"

I never wanna love
I never wanna hurt another
I hate this heart
I can't take cover

Each heartbeat hurts
Every breathe kills
Even the look burns
Even tried poppin' pills

Didn't change things
Didn't fix it at all
Damned them with words
Damn me away I crawl
