Im lying to keep you here

Im lying to keep you here.

He doesnt make me laugh, or even crack a simple smile,
He doesnt make my days worth living for a while.
He holds my hand, hugs me tight and never lets me go,
But he doesnt set my heart alight or even let it glow.
He promises me the world and will love me till forever,
He kisses my head gently and says well stay together.
He makes endless vows to me about mending my broken heart,
But what he doesnt realize is that its tearing me apart.
He doesnt make my eyes sparkle or sweep me off my feet,
But he tells me hes been dreaming of each time well ever meet.
He cant fill the emptiness and sorrow I have left inside,
But he helps me mask the pain of this lonely disguise.
Hell never even come close to how you made me feel,
But at least I know his love for me is pure and real.
I know I should love him and Im lying to keep him here,
But he helps to forget the memories and takes away the fear.
He cant replace the feelings I still have for you, my love,
But I know he will look after me like angels from above.
He whispers in my ear about how well always last,
But what hell never know is that Im still living in my past.
He listens to my problems and meanwhile strokes my hair,
But as I said before, to you nothing will ever compare.
You may wonder how I do this, and simply ask why,
So I turn around and softly whisper...He doesnt make me cry.
