all these fake truths
and real lies
i can see it in your eyes
don't try and deny
you were the most beautiful liar i knew
and now i see just what was wrong with you
you knew how to do things no one else could do
you would tell a lie
but deep within those words
you could find somewhat of a truth
those fragile words spoken
shattered, crashed down on my heart
i never thought something like this
would ever tear us apart
the pieces or yesterday
are now inlaid
defined
somewhere inside this broken
shattered
and useless heart of mine
they now define me
they are now the key
to unlock all those forgotten memories
to bring them back
make me remember the past
though i've tried so hard to forget
i knew one day
i would have to face the facts
i just want to cry out
let the world know
i can't do this anymore
but that won't change any of the things
that happened before
it's hard for me to say,
but it's oh so true
you were a beautiful liar
and i can only wonder
why all of those things had to happen to you
you stood your ground
stood straight
upright on your feet
but soon enough you fell to your knees
you just couldn't take the defeat
now i only wish you knew
i saw the real you
the person inside
i understood the fact
that your lies had their truths
and your truths had their lies
but now whose to blame?
if one of those lies
takes a life
