You told me that you always told me the truth And that was a lie Because you told me you were trying to be rid of her And that was a lie You made the gesture of pushing her away While secretly letting her stay You said you had so much love for me And yet you just couldn’t let her be Because that was a lie. That was a lie. I had my arms wide-open ready for an embrace But you stabbed me in the chest and then you spat in my face I had my world all ready just for you to move in But you ransacked my house, you blew the windows right in With all of your hot air, all of your grief I knew this was a lie I did not want to believe. You told me that you always told me the truth And that was a lie Because you wanted me to be open with you You told me a lie You made intimate, you lead me to your bed And then you drew a gun, cocked it right to my head You said you had so much love for me And yet you just couldn’t let love be. Because that was a lie. That was a lie. How about a little truth? What’s it gonna be for me and you? How about I tell it straight? Let’s talk of hurt and sick and hate Let’s talk about the way you make me feel And I’ll try this time to make it fucking real Because I told you that you gave me joy But I was only ever your toy And you made me feel like mortal sin You made me want to just give in So I told a lie, too. I can be like you. That was a lie. I can never be as cold as you. © 2004 eveghost
