Comforting Lie

I rip my heart wide open,
So you can sew it up,
I`m laying here hoping,
You have what I need.

Tears fall down on the bed,
As I listen to you breathe;
Indoctrinating my spinning head,
With comforting lies tonight.

You say I`m just what you need,
That everything will turn around,
My breaking heart starts to bleed;
It can`t keep up with this pressure.

There`s an easy way out,
An exit just to the right,
But this, without a doubt,
Is what I bargained for.

I needed a beautiful liar,
And you fit the part,
With matching attire;
Bury me in a comforting lie.
