She was called the Lyin’ Tamer.
Absurdity would enflame her.
She could spot a line
way back from foot nine.
She’d decline and who could blame her?

I blinked
My eyes lying to each other
“did you…”
“no, don’t”
“yeah…but I”
“stop blinking and shut it”
“but that image”
“shake it off”
I blinked again
a tear in one eye.

She tells me, she loves me, but I know
Her eyes can’t keep a secret and it shows
If she could, I know, she’d let me go
Cause only resentment grows
Lyin’ eyes
Lyin’ hearts
We’ve both given up
But we still play the part
If not for the fear, of a new start
We’d do what’s right
Lyin’ eyes
Lyin’ hearts
Who’ll make the first move
What’s holding us back
This is long overdue
We’ve traded comfort for facts
We’ve wasted more time
Than we may have left
Livin’ aint lovin’ if it’s done so in jest
Lyin’ eyes
Lyin’ hearts
We’ve both given up
But we still play the part
If not for the fear, of a new start
We’d do what’s right
Lyin’ eyes
Lyin’ hearts
Why are we holding tight
To lyin’ eyes and lyin’ hearts

I'd be lyin' if I said I wasn't terrified, said I wasn't scared.
I'd be lyin' if I said dreams don't come true,to heights I hadn't dared.
I'd be lyin' if I said that I was perfect, my convictios aremy own.
I'd be lyin' if I said I wasn't proud of every seed I've sewn.
I'd be lyin' if I said time doesnt heal all wounds, scars they never close,
I'd be lyin' if I said I hadn"t a burned a bridge or two, still through ashes, once again I rose.
I'd be lyin' if I said I wasnt ready to love again,that you arent worthy of my time.
I'd be lyin' if i sid he didnt make my blue eyes shine.
With my shoulders back, my chin held high, beside him in will stand,
still tryin,
I can't say I don't love him, cause then, I would be lyin'.

People say time's a great healer
but my wounds they cut too deep
I still visualise your lying eyes
when I close my eyes to sleep
I found out you were cheating
when I heard your mobile phone
That darn incessant bleeping
and now you’ve wrecked our happy home
You packed your bags without a word
then headed straight out of the door
Your Jekyll and Hyde act was quite absurd,
I've seen it too many times before
Our friends say you are happy now
and you’re missing our 2-year-old boy
Yet you spend ALL your time with that old cow -
you’re just like a kid with a shiny new toy
People say time is a great healer
but my wounds they cut too deep
I still visualise your lying eyes
when I close my eyes to sleep

roses are red
violets are blue
only if you knew how in love i am with you,
maybe youd love me back,
maybe love is something you lack
youll lay in bed tonight with a face lit bright,
ill lay in bed with a new thin line on my arm, in red
trust me, you not knowing me is not why i do this
cutting is just my new found bliss.
if people knew, they'd call me crazy,
if people knew, they might care
