Why do I lie to myself and pretend people care,
Pretend you are there,
Pretend love is shared
And trust?
Why do I care
And pour out my soul,
Commit what was whole
To love?
Why don't I see
The truth around me,
That no one is selfless, loves free-
No one tells lies honestly.
That I'm just someone
As nameless to some
As faceless to most
As alone as a ghost
Why do I hide
From truths known inside
Connections over and done
Set like the sun
Died before it was begun
Why lie?
