The Lie

The lie is the thing that kills
Like the children in the old mills

All she had to do was say
and i would have walked on my way

But instead she let me fight and cry
I don't regret it for i had to try

It's okay though ill live again
and soon enough there will be no pain

i will go on and help another
Maybe this one wont be like the other
