Lying for your protection

I didn't want you to worry
Thats why I had to lie
I didn't want you to feel my pain
Or ever see me cry.

I'm covered in cuts and bruises you see?
And my hearts broken in two
But I wanted to make you happy
So I had to lie to you

I hope you can forgive me
I was trying to spare your pain
I just didn't want you to know,
I couldn't take the strain
