Lie

I loved you so much
But you destroyed my trust
I never know when you’re telling a lie
You’re making me go out of my mind

You build my hopes up so high
Then you go and make me cry
Your eyes show an innocence few have ever known
But at the same time they’re as cold as stone

I look around but you’re nowhere
I remembered a time when you cared
I want to trust you, I really do
Why do you lie to me? I never lie to you

I hate how you can lie so well
And I can never even tell
You always fool me with those trusting eyes
But you’ll soon find out, every lie has it’s price

I can see the texts that you send back and forth
You think I don’t know what’s going on, of course
You don’t understand the pain it makes me feel
It’s like I’m trapped in a nightmare that feels so real

I’ve begun to see a darker side of me
When she texts you and you’re with me
I can see the smile you hide in your eyes
You think you fooled me, you think I bought your lies

I don’t want to drag this on
If this lying is going to keep going on
Tell me the truth once and for all
Is she just a friend to you, is that all?
