Lie Once Again
Oh how many times are you going to lie?
My eyes are soar
From all the times I have cried.
Do you like to make me sad?
So sad that I can't even smile.
So sad that I cant even pretend i'm alright?
I'm tired of all the sleepless nights
My own voice wakes me in the middle of the night
My screams are so loud
From a nightmare I've just went through.
Its all because of you.
You know that don't you?
Of course you do.
You just pretend not to know.
Not to know all the pain
All the nights I think
Am I not good enough?
Is it my fault your gone?
Should I just disapear?
Maybe then you would feel lost.
As lost as I always do.
But that's not me.
I hate to make others suffer.
Or even feel bad for just a glimpse of a second.
I guess its how I've come to be.
Maybe because I don't want anyone to be like me.
I don't want them to feel that pain
That pain I feel everyday
It never goes away.
Just sometimes it fades
But then I begin to think.
I'm not the only one like this.
Some hurt more then me
So I shouldn't complain.
It's hard though
Half the time I don't know how to feel
My minds all screwed up
But that's all right.
When it all gets to much
And the voices get to loud
I say a little prayer
To help me calm down.
God if your listening
Will you please help me now
For I am lost
I am wandering about.
I need your grace
Your strength over me
For I am just a weak sheep
But with your gentle touch
Maybe I can breath a soft sigh of relief.
So are you still going to lie?
I think you might.
You've done it before
Even though you promised no more.
