Well I damn sure know the truth
But I lie…
I lie…
And it feels like the right thing to do…
I look into your eyes...
And I know you know it too...
I lie
And we feed each others fear…
You smile…
And you act like you care…
And I lie…
I lay beside you and we talk…
We act like it’s communication…
But we know it’s all a front…
Because we don’t want another confrontation…
So we lie, and we look into the night…
We know we’ll never be satisfied with this…
But it feels so good not being right…
So we lie, and we come together for another kiss…
You smile…
And we agree, someday…
I lie…
You agree and you smile…
I lie…
We say our “I Love you’s” ...
And we hide our rush to leave…
We act like there’s no others
And “without you I’d die”...
We leave the room key on the covers…
And you go home to hide and cry…
I race home to my shower…
And I bow my head and pray to die…
The only truth I know is…
I lie…
Comment: Jay,this one scares me with its despairing power. Again your choice of simple language to tell your story makes it more potent. Another on my list of your best.
