Hearts and lies
Lies are bad, lies are sad,
Lies can kill, lies will make you mad
Lies will find away to come back out
Break your heart, now let's bring you back to the start
Born into a house of lies, you could see it in all their eyes
Fake smiles, questions brushed to the side
If only she didn't tell that lie
I asked at 4, who's my dad?
I knew by her face I'd made her mad
She told me he died the day I was born
We never spoke of him no more
Until one day I turned 18,
A drunken party was the scene
She sat me down , now the story must begin
"He is not dead you see, I Iied to protect me
Protect you too, from that nasty man
The one your so keen to call your dad"
A faded picture was now what I had
All these lies made me feel mad
A mental breakdown did insue,
All these lies had broken through
Time went on and I got stronger
Always knowing one day I would find
The hole in my heart,
A dad shaped size
Health issues had always plaqued my mind
His genes I have, they've gone astray
All because of the lie that day
Married now and heading away,
One more thing I had to say
I found my dad, a bad man that much is true
Health issues too, even after all I'd been through
Heart problems plague his family
His genes I carry, now filled with worry
Heart attacks by 39...
By passess too if your that way inclined
A bad man yes that he may be
But through all their lies they didn't see me
The innocent one in all this strife
All these lies have shaped my life
Today I had a call you see,
A cardiologist to speak to me
"I'm sorry Mrs, but we have to say
Your valves are faulty, his genes at play
A heart attack is almost certain
You might not see the age of 40"
So as I sit here writing this
I think not of all the things iv missed
Instead I think of what may have been
If through all the lies I had been seen
It never had to be this way
If she's didn't lie that fateful day
My life may now be at its end
A treacherous lie my last friend
Iv got his genes, now they have gone astray
I might not live to see another day
But while I'm here let it be known
No good can come from lies at home
Lies are bad, lies are sad
Lies will cut a family in half
Lies have broken my heart
The mess left for me to pick up
If only she hadn't lied that day
If only she had loved me enough to keep me safe
I love her with all my heart
But she's broken mine and now I'm dust.
Lies will turn everything black
Lies will stab you in the back
A Tear from my eye has just fallen
Lies did that..my heart is broken ??
