Why Do You Lie?

52 5 4
                                    

My begging voice pleads with you

Just tell me the truth I cry.

You look at me as if you have no clue

While you look me in the eyes and lie.

How could you do that to me

When love flows freely in my veins?

Truth be told a lie hurts me endlessly

Making sadness take the reins.

A lie will start to destroy everything

Including things we worked hard for.

Hearing the truth makes me sing

Making my heart want to soar.

Hear my plea as I cry out loud

I want the lying to stop.

Telling the truth will make me proud

And no longer will my heart drop.
