Liar

I rose out of bed, but

I left something there, and

it tears me when I try to sleep.

 

I start to feel dry

When I think about why

all my friends and lovers leave.

 

Its me, and I know it is

me, inconsiderate

me, trying, awkward, and true...

 

At least, that\'s what I say

catch me turning away,

Bet your ass that I\'m lying to you.

 

The worst sin, in a liar\'s eyes?

Betrayal;

He never thought you smart enough to know.

The arrogance and shame

create a desperate game,

Keep you here

can\'t stand to see you go.

 

I\'d tell you how I love you

I feel it here and it feels true to me today.

Can you take me at my word?

I don\'t know if you\'ve heard

 

 

I\'ve felt this way before, and turned away.
