I've Never Been Better.

"I can tell you're lying when your lips move."

You're probably wondering how it's so easy to lie,
well, to tell you the truth,
I just do what I have to.

One thing I can't stand, is the look in your eyes,
as my lips move quickly and you never realize.
I'm sorry it has to be this way, but despite your tries,
I never paid attention, anyways.

I'm not really one to be quick on their feet,
but I bet I'd never miss a beat,
when I'm covering up the truth.
I'm sorry I have to keep it from you.

Am I happy, or am I sad? Like you'll ever know;
they look the same; they clash and flow,
and you can't tell which way they'll go.

You won't know the truth, emotion wise,
because I sugarcoat each one with lies,
until everything looks perfect.

You treat me well, with much respect,
but I guess that has next to no effect,
since I am unloyal and unreliable;
the fact that I am a liar is undeniable.

I know you want to know the truth of how I feel,
you're looking for the answer that seems real,
but babe, this wall's made of steel.
You're never getting in.
