A Lie

by Emma Carnage   Aug 8, 2005


I never thought I would say this
But I think I hate you now
You looked right in my eyes
And lied to my face
Without a single hesitation

Why would you do that?
What the hell was going through your mind?
You said those three words with such ease
And you said them first
So don’t say you were trying to make me feed good
How could I have been so stupid?

I could say those words so true
It was bliss to say that I love you
But you turned those words sour
By making them a burning lie
So if you could lie about that
What else was a lie?

Did you really miss me when I was gone?
Was I really beautiful to you?
Were you really worried about me when I took those pills?
Did you even give a shit about me?
Was anything you ever said true?
If you can lie about something so huge
Then small lies shouldn’t be a problem

Was it all just a game?
You ask me not to hate you
But why shouldn’t I?
I don’t think I’ll ever trust you again
Did you ever cheat on me?
It wouldn’t surprise me if you had
Nothing else you say would surprise me anymore

It’s funny how I always could trust you
No matter what you did
But now I doubt I will again
And my trust in others has faltered
Because if the one I always turned to
Could lie straight to my face
Then how can I trust anyone?
