Your Lies
This ache in my heart
The pain that I feel
It tears me apart
I don’t think I’ll heal.
The lies that you tell
Sure hurt to the core
It won’t help to yell
Just walk out the door.
This game that you play
You think you have won
No words can you say
For you fool no one.
If this is the road
Through life that you choose
For you have been told
Stay away from booze.
The money you’ve spent
That should have been saved
We’ve given and lent
Your bills we have paid.
The oath that you took
So special and true
The hands that you shook
Mean nothing to you.
“He’s smart and He’s bright”
From people I heard
“He’ll go far in life”
If you kept your word.
You know right from wrong
Yet go with the pack
You follow along
You don’t turn your back.
“I’m sorry” you say
Each time you are caught
This isn’t the way
That you have been taught.
You’re out on your own
Some days can be tough
You lie on the phone
And I’ve had enough.
You say you love me
You look in my eyes
Although I can see
Right through all your lies.
This path that you’re on
Will hurt in the end
You’ve become this con
My heart will not mend.
The choice you must make
Be honest not lie
The right path to take
Or just say good bye.
We have always said
Beside you we’d stay
Choose to lie instead
We’ll just walk away.
Your future you hold
Which path you will choose
For you have been told
You’ve a lot to lose.
