One little lie

by my name is Llama   Jan 2, 2007


One little lie that's all it takes
To cover up something so big
And a lot of past mistakes
Things that can never be erased

A lie told often enough becomes the truth
You start to feel like it never happened
That thing that took away your whole youth
The one thing you can never get back

To come out and say what really went wrong
Seems further than the impossible
The truth just does not belong
So this must stay with me for the rest of my life

Maybe when I'm older it will all go away
But how old is old enough
All I can think of is today
Yesterday must be left in the past

So on I live
Day after day
I must survive this
With my own little secret that will never go away
