Lies

It's something that you start out with 
it's there until betrayed 
But once the trust is broken 
the relationship is frayed 

It's not so easy to restore the faith 
once the deed is done 
It's work, work, and more work 
and that, my friends, not fun 

Some days are good, some days are not 
and that you can expect 
So--------stay on the road, long and straight 
your rewards are just ahead. 

For if you fall and lie again 
that wedge between you both 
Will widen, deepen, pull apart 
whatever made you close.
