Lies I try to understand Be the man I should be For you and me It’s hard to understand When I can’t tell the truth from the lies I tried Every story you told They all had holes The kind you can see threw But with my rose tinted glasses I was blind to it all You had me wrapped around your finger Just leading me on Getting all the benefits Familiar with the noise Never the person Keeping me going Hanging on by a thread Slowly giving me enough Hanging my heart out to die One misunderstanding at a time Time and Time again Lie after lie Every time a piece of me breaks Distorting reality Making me believe this fake reality Filled with lies Sprown in to a spider-web

Lies
Lies I try to understand Be the man I should be For you and me It’s hard to understand When I can’t tell the truth from the lies I tried Every story you told They all had holes The kind you can see threw But with my rose tinted glasses I was blind to it all You had me wrapped around your finger Just leading me on Getting all the benefits Familiar with the noise Never the person Keeping me going Hanging on by a thread Slowly giving me enough Hanging my heart out to die One misunderstanding at a time Time and Time again Lie after lie Every time a piece of me breaks Distorting reality Making me believe this fake reality Filled with lies Sprown in to a spider-web
I can't finish this piece, I'm sorry y'all
