This is why I lie
Call me crazy
But I lie alot
Even when qips and quoted urge the truth
The truth shall set you free
So I should assume lies keep you locked
I just can't stand hurting people a lot
Call me weak or whatever you will
I can keep a secret or a promise if you will
Disagree that's your decision
I just can't give my loved ones a true depiction
Family problems
What a troublesome bunch
So I lie to keep the peace
Because it's gotten worse
Since the truth has been out
I can take it they scream and shout
Friends are just as bad
Because family is forever and friends my never last
So how to keep it dear like the beginning of a letter
I sweat in summer wearing a winter sweater
So I will always be sweating
To tell the truth
Or to lie to you
It's like walking into hell from a war zone
Reality just to escape the "comfort" of your own home
It's actually not that bad
But not that good
Because I've noticed that being difficult is not my style
But I can't conform to everyone
Lose control to brash decision that aren't my own
So I lie
Yes I lie
Why I lie
Because like this sweater
It makes me feel better
To not hear the bickering
To not keep a secret
To not care when caring
To lie and make you feel better
To stay in the back
I'm interested in that
Because if I get involved
Then I'll be free
And freedom has its price
Pay it that's your choice
But it won't be mine
Not this time
Because I'm tired of it
So call me crazy
But
Sigh
This is why I lie
