Maybe I Should Be the Liar

Maybe I should be a liar To spare and to coddle To take away all sense of Purpose and truth Maybe I should Become the person With the too wide smile And the lifeless eye The fated crinkle of cheeks Maybe someday the truth Will come And climb aboard To fly close to the sun Maybe then I would fall and Crash and burn Or maybe even Take the chance to learn Maybe I am the Iceberg The fated foil Or maybe I know all too well How bad things will go If I just let go Then maybe I can be The truth That sets you free Maybe I could soar With wings that Touch the very tops Of the trees Maybe I could But I will not Because the truth is The snake The venom is your trust So I’ll become the liar The villain in your tale I tell you exactly What you want to hear With perfume in my spells I will sit and play the part And be the perfect belle For the only thing that sets apart The story from the tell I can be the liar and I will Fare quite well Because even when the Trust was there My lips spoke a farewell
