atleast the words I speak
are the truth
atleast you know the war
that goes on in my mind

of course it hurts
but now you know
of the pain between
my every heart beat

darling this isn't hurt
truth doesn't hurt
half as much
as a lie does

but you wouldn't know
what a lie feels like
or what a liar looks like
now would you

you only know the pain
of truth
and take it from one who has
felt both

lies give birth
to hate
to hurt
to disgust

if truth makes your body ache
and makes your soul cry in pain
then imagine the pain
caused by the lies you spoke
