All because of a lie

It was going fine
until i lied
i felt so stupid
ignorant and dumb
i feel so helpless and confused
all because of a lie
there was love and trust
now there is just hatred
sadness and untrusting emotions
all because of a lie

i can not change the past
i can only try to make
the future go a little better
all because of a lie
a lie, a lie
a lie ruined what we had
it tore me apart
a lie was not worth
losing her love and trust
it tore me apart to lie to her

i never really fit in
but with her i did
i loved and cared for her
and she cared for me
she was the first person
i finally loved and cared for
but it was all torn apart
all because of a lie

i said that i would
never hurt her, but i did
i hurt her with a lie
i feel so helpless and alone
without her by my side
it is as though i am on
the outside looking in
all because of a lie

a lie tore us apart
i took away her love and trust
all because of a lie
i am so down without her
the one that i care so much for

she was like the sun
settling on the ocean
she was like the moon
and the stars, magnificent and beautiful
but i lost that
all because of a lie
