Lie to Me

I think the saddest thing about getting older,

is all the things that you'll realize you never knew

about me, and how easily i hid them from you.

And you're only just seeing everything fall into place,

every excuse and subject change, and flat out lie,

because i separated myself from your life.

I finally have the freedom to leave, and

i'm disentangling our lives piece by piece.

I am who i am, especially without you,

completely mental and ****** up,

but at least now i can just be

and not worry about what you think

or wonder if you believed me when i told you

i wasn't okay.
