I'm Lying

by Taylor   Feb 25, 2008


Can you see this look that's drifting in my eyes?
When you're next to me can you feel the pain in my sighs?
It was a damn cold night, and all I wanted was for you to hold me
I wanted to look at you and, inside, feel free
Now you look at me today, and ask me if I'm okay
Of course I just sit there and always have the same thing to say
You don't stare past my eyes and see the truth
When your lips touch mine I can feel the uncouth

You're blinded easily, to know I notice the littlest things
A simple mistake can break my mended wings
My chest hurts now, because of all the tears I've held in
Every time I breathe there's a jolt, remembering the places I've been
You must be deaf if you can't hear this tone in my voice
It's cracked and silent, because I've stayed with my choice
I'll never forget the day you did nothing when I was crying
I tell you I'm okay, but of course, I'm lying
