Lies

[depressedmetalhead]

Thank you all for your helpful advice and kind words! I made the edits you guys suggested and it sounds a lot better; you guys were right. Here's the updated version if you'd like to read it :)

Lies

You reached out in a cold world
Within the dirt and mud, you were a pearl
Coaxed me out of my shell
Made me believe my soul possessed no hell

Then you lied to me
It broke my heart
To realize this could be
A time we grow apart
I trust, they kill
Didn’t think you’d feel the same thrill

You'll never know the pain
When I need a hug, think of you
And remember you hurt me too
The lie stings but reality cuts more;
I cling to truth and against it, you wage war

“I get it, I’m sorry.”
Authenticity was always yours before
It seems I don't know anything anymore
I’ve never heard your voice hit that note
Never thought you’d use that quote,
The same tired excuse
That means I’m going to lose.

If I leave you, I’ll never be complete
But I can’t stay and face defeat
Yet again, just like always
I’ll be stuck in my ways
Pretending everything’s fine
But I don’t know if I can do it this time

It hurts too much
To see your face, to feel your touch
To never understand what’s true
And what is not genuinely you…
