When I Lie..

Riding the roller coaster of life,

thinking how high will this ride take me before I drop and fall straight onto my face?

Lies take way more effort than the truth,

why lie to myself?

The truth is less harder to prove.

Every day I feel like it gets harder and harder to move

only because it seems the truth is way harder to choose

out of the two.

I always said I'd keep it real with myself

but out of the blue

I'm finding ways to make a deal with myself,

because I can't deal with myself.

Feeling like it was a waste, like stealing a belt.

The sky is the limit? I'm still waiting for the ceiling to melt.

Lonely, that's how I feel, like I'm by myself,

only one at the wheel I have to drive myself!

I'm not a snitch but I can tell, I'm the only one of my kind.

When I'm done with my life, they'll say I won.

What a lie!

If they ever found out, whats on my mind they would die in pain!

So when I lie to you, know that your life was saved.
