Lies

The lies that I have told you 
Can not be justified 
It doesn't matter what I say 
The truth is still a lie 

The closest thing to honesty 
Is far and few between 
The only lies forgiven 
Are the lies that went unseen 

But now it is over 
And nothing can be done 
We can hide from the truth 
But we can never run 

From the lies that came between us 
The truth will never fall 
On the lip that once believed in me 
The lies will end it all
