Lies Hurt

Hold it all together,
That's what you must do
Knowing all of what they said,
None of it was true

I just wanted the truth,
Is that too much to ask
It's the lies that hurt,
Leaving pain for me to mask

But if I'm not ok,
You would never know
The tears will remain inside,
Never there to show

So lie to me all you want,
The truth, you never tell
So hurt me, I don't care
On you, my mind won't dwell
