The Lie We're Living

The first time,

You say things I don't believe

I tell you that I'll never leave

We just keep up the charade

Hoping that the pain will fade.

 

The next time,

I say that I've forgiven

You tell me now you're different

We just keep playing this game

Hoping that the sorrow will fade.

 

The last time,

You say you can't live a lie

I tell you it's time to say goodbye

We just keep walking away

Hoping that the memory will fade.
