Reasons To Lie

I know I’m selfish.

I know that I don’t deserve half this

But I take it all in with my smile.

 

I know you know that I’m lying

Convincing yourself that I’m trying

To be better; better than you think I am

 

You ask all of the right questions

Lead me in the right directions

But I’m not thirsty like a good horse should be.

 

Oh..

The truth.

The truth

Is sad sometimes.

The truth is sad sometimes.

Maybe that’s why

We find reasons to lie.

 

I know I’m stupid

You make me feel like I’m worth this,

Shaking my head all the while.

 

I know I’ve got the worst timing,

Leaving right when you’re dying,

But I shouldn’t be near your bed.

 

Sometimes I ask for mercy,

Sometimes I want you to need me,

Then I realize I’m nothing you should need.

 

Oh..

The truth.

The truth

Is sad sometimes.

The truth is sad sometimes.

Maybe that’s why

We find reasons to lie.

 

I saved all mine for you,

Had the plan but couldn’t execute,

These heart beats getting quicker cause I know.

 

This is how it ends,

How I finally win,

By showing you you are the only thing to me that is true…

 

Oh..

The truth.

The truth

Is sad sometimes.

The truth is sad sometimes.

Maybe that’s why

We find reasons to lie.
