Lies
She told me a lie
Just to get by
Said she'd be back
But that was an act
She told me a lie
Never told me why
I'll get better I swear
That's why I'm in my Aunts care
She told me a lie
I started to cry
She was supposed to be
Instead my Aunt was with me
She told me a lie
Looking into my eyes
I'll be there for you
But I already knew
She told me a lie
The truth she will never try
Dear Mother I say to you good bye
I hope you do not cry
To my children I will never lie
