Liar's Diary
You look me in the face
I look you in the eye
You cannot distinguish
Between truth or lie
I tell you that I love you
I can make you smile
I can make you happy
Even if it's for a little while
You trust me wholeheartedly
You always believe
Until you find a clue
And realize you've been deceived
You quickly confront me
I tell you I'm not lying
You see my tears
You see me crying
Your guilt consumes you
You apologize
You bid me to cease
My tears and cries
And just like the first time
You believe me, your friend
Only to be proven
Wrong yet again
Confrontation resumes
My words don't reach your ears
I've changed from your biggest dream
To your biggest fear
You lose communication
We don't talk for years
And after time passes
Everything becomes clear
Except you see me years later
I tell you I've changed
You smile because you're happy
I smile because I'm insane
