I lie and lie
To keep you close by.
I thought it'd save you
From heaving those sighs.
But how wrong I was,
And I figured that out,
But only when I saw
Your fading silhouette.
We were strolling on the sidewalk
When you suddenly stopped.
The streetlights by the road
Illuminating your face.
"What's wrong?" I asked,
And you looked at me sad.
"How long has it been
Since you last told me the truth?
How long has it been
Since you've trampled on my trust?
The lies you tell me
Do me unjust.
How much longer
Must I keep this mistrust?
You told me you love me,
But is that really true?
After all those lies you've told me,
How could I know?"
You held my gaze
For as long as you could,
But still in the end,
The tears won out.
They flowed down your cheeks
Like diamonds in the light,
But diamonds, I could not bear to see.
I had hoped you'd never
Find out about my lies,
But it seems that this time
My luck has run short.
The first girl I ever loved
Was turning away,
And as a guy, I thought,
I must not cry.
I wish I could have talked,
But my throat was too dry.
I could do nothing but stand
As you left me here alone.
I reached out to you
With one last hope,
But you were too far away,
And so I accepted my fate.
I only wish
That you would have looked back,
But look back you did not,
And it left my heart to rot.
I lied and lied
To keep you close by,
But now I wonder
If my own tears
Will ever dry.
