Don't Say I Lie

Don't Say I Lie

I never promised everything would be alright.
It's something that would happen with time.
Friendship grown weak from your lack of sleep.
The hate you breed so well, will turn on you.

We'll play this game, who breaks first.
The line is drawn, now it's your turn to jump.
A dictionary can never define a person well.
I know what I am, I can't say the same for you.
Don't bother trying to explain anything.

It's ok to hate, and never to forgive.
But who said I would apologize for giving up?
Maybe it was better off that way.
Breaking free of these chains feels so good.
I can finally stand on my two feet.

You’re off jumping lines and finding meanings,
To words you've never commit to.
This fine line divides who I am,
and who you want me to be.
Where should I stand?

By your side? Or on my own?
I'll leave you a constellation prize,
you've won second place in my heart.
Does that mean anything to you anymore?
If it does, you’re only second best.

These counter-attractions need to stop.
Lets get on the battlefield and fight.
We shall end this war here tonight.
Last man standing, will be the one who lies best.

    This kinda confused me, At first I thought it was about a girl, But then I thought it was about a friend? Ohwell, It was still good. And I liked how you asked those questions, Tis was goooood! 5/5
