Do you want me to tell you,
I am trying to break your heart.
Do you want me to say
I aim to fall apart?
Do I whisper in your ear,
“Time to wake up from this dream”
Do I pretend you don’t deserve me,
Do you really want “honesty”?

Because if those words are what you want,
It’s my job to be your need, to try.
I’ll fall at your feet to please you,
I’ll say the words I can’t mean and sigh.
And in a hush beneath my breath,
I’ll remind you,
“I lie.”
