I Lied
We had all of this in front of us
Staring at us
Watching us with haunting eyes
Making our bodies flinch
And our breath become shallow
When we couldn't help ourselves
And whispered "I'm sorry"
When "I love you" was too hard to swallow
Between the breaths of pain
And the gasps of pure anger
That we never understood,
Now I know about you
And that you're all that I'll ever need
But you loved hurting me
More than telling me
That you lost me on accident
Because while everyone screamed
And yelled at you
I watched
Silently,
You told me "I lied"
And I couldn't help but smile
"Me too"

Now I know about you
And that you're all that I'll ever need
But you loved hurting me

Because while everyone screamed
And yelled at you

Silently,
You told me "I lied"
And I couldn't help but smile
