Living A Lie

by Gem   Dec 30, 2006


The fire burned out long ago
But she doesn't want him to know

She wants some space and room to breathe
But she just can't bring herself to leave

All the love she had... is gone
But she tries her best to carry on

She knows she's playing a dangerous game
On the border of going insane

She doesn't want to break his heart
She knew she would, right from the start

She doesn't know what else to do
She promised herself she'd see this through

She promised herself she'd stay, she'd try
But she'll always know, she's living a lie... ©

    You know, before 7th period today, I could relate to this so much.
    But, after that, my boyfriend broke up with me and I realized I shouldn't have been keeping it inside.
    Great job darling :)
