I wish you'd show me, the words you whispers The sweet lies you tell, nothing but a salted bandage for my wound You tell me I'm a treasure, from a faraway land I feel the faraway part, but as a common rock amongst many I just want a change, just one if any I wish the speech would match the intention I hate the lies, this stupid invention I want to feel the weight of your “love” I’m tired of watching afar like a dove Am I too blame? Am I too plain? Do I blend in with the world, out of your sight? Or am I too reliant on fight or flight? You’d never know what cross my mind, I’d never try and tell I’m scared of the stares and falling under hypocrisy’s spell I want to feel something when you smile I’m tired, so done with the sweet lies

Sweet Lies
I wish you'd show me, the words you whispers The sweet lies you tell, nothing but a salted bandage for my wound You tell me I'm a treasure, from a faraway land I feel the faraway part, but as a common rock amongst many I just want a change, just one if any I wish the speech would match the intention I hate the lies, this stupid invention I want to feel the weight of your “love” I’m tired of watching afar like a dove Am I too blame? Am I too plain? Do I blend in with the world, out of your sight? Or am I too reliant on fight or flight? You’d never know what cross my mind, I’d never try and tell I’m scared of the stares and falling under hypocrisy’s spell I want to feel something when you smile I’m tired, so done with the sweet lies
