You lied right to my face.
I watched you do it.
Why was that so easy for you?
I asked you what you said to her.
You only told me half of it,
What you knew wouldn't make me mad.

You told her you hope to see her again,
But you didn't tell me that.
Why hide her if she's only a friend now?
Wrapped so desperately around her fingers.
You were under her spell just before we met.

You used her nickname to say goodbye.
Can't tell me why, keep spinning your lies.
Pretend you don't know why I'm yelling like this.
Ignore that you're following footsteps of your past.

You say we must be even now, "a lie for a lie."
This is what you do. This is who you are.
And it's just like me to try to fix this man.
This broken, condescending, narcissistic man.
