Can't Speak

Put me on the table
and lie to me
I can listen
I can lie too
I can forget
pride for you
I can lose all control
and do

I know this way isn't
at all stable
put me on the table
and hold my head up
to the lies you feed
as you let me down
I know love doesn't live here
I know that it is only greed
but, everything you tell me
seems true to everything
I need

I know it's deceitful
but, your words tickle my ear
and I soon forget
why I'm here
I came to tell you
that I can lie too
and say that I don't love you
I don't want you
don't say to me that you
know better
I'm trying not to show that
I'm giving in

I become silent
I can't speak when you
touch my lips that way
you make me weak
and words cannot find a voice to protest
so, I allow you
just do and be done with me
so cold

I love you too
he says, walking away
I try to hold my head up as I realize again
that I let myself down
I gave in to you
just like I always do
I get off the table..
I can lie too
I scream after you
I never loved you
