Live a Lie

Every now and then I fall apart. I try to keep it in, but it just hurts too much. I thought my heart would be safe in your hands, I never knew you would tear it to shreds...

I believed our love was true, but now I see you were putting on a show. You were really looking past me, seeing someone else, telling me you love me but knowing your heart would never be mine, she held it the whole time...

I tried to ignore the feeling that I wasn't the only one, but hearing you say, "I love you." Took that feeling away. The way you looked at me as if I was all you could see, it made me believe you weren't really cheating on me...

Then it would start happening more frequently, me waking up in the middle of the night to find you not here...You coming home smelling like booze and cheap perfume...I tried to just ignore it but it hurt me so much...

I can't keep living a lie, I can't keep letting you play me for a fool...I look you straight in the eye and say, I love you so much, but you have a to choose...

As I walk away, I don't turn back to see if you regret your choice, I don't want you to see the tears that streak my face...

I want to turn around though, and beg for forgiveness, I need you back, you don't have to choose...I'll live a lie as long as it's with you.....
