You listen to the words that come out
But are incapable of reading my eyes.
You ask me if I can let her go,
I can only respond with lies.
I'm left only to pretend that I don't know
All that I've learned now;
That a beautiful girl,
beloved and young,
Can house a mind that takes her down.
So I will live in a world of lies
Masking all my fears,
I'll smile with you and i'll laugh with you
Because I'm so close to tears.
