If You Must Tell Me This Tell Me That

if you must tell me this then tell me that

don't lie

you know the truth 

why do you fear

saying words you 
know so well are lies

just to confused me 
to your greed 

the lies hidden 
in your truth 
is obvious


so when next 
you come across 
me again my friend

be honest
be truthful

why you want me 
to be by you 
when you lie 

I can see and always hear 
one side of your story

but remember if you
want to earn my trust
dont lie 
if you can tell me this tell me that
