The Heart and Lies
The Heart and Lies
When you lie to yourself
The truth is distorted
When you lie to your heart
The truth changes everything
When you lie to another
The truth is changed
Yet the truth exists anyway
When you lie to the world
It is not life
But you
Who are changed
When you are changed
The world lies to you
And you no longer hear the truth
When you cannot hear the truth
Your heart suspects
Everything is a lie
When you lie in your heart
You will no the difference
Because the truth changes everything
