"I love you" is a lie
I never meant it
And neither did you
Because you were blind
And I was playing along
And honestly I don't know why
I even had the guts to tell that lie
When the words felt wrong
Falling on your ears,
Spilling from broken lips
Broken lips that refuse to kiss
Because you were nothing more
Than a thief trying to steal
My innocence and what I treasure most
I hated you
And yet I dealt with you
I was kind to you
And you used me as another balm
For the wounds you held within
I'm not a coping mechanism
And "I love you" is a lie
Don't say it, don't say it
Too late I said it
And it's not true
Because the fire burning in the back
Of my darkened mind
Knows deep inside
"I love you" was a lie
You didn't love me
And I didn't even LIKE you
So what the hell happened?
Why did I let you in?
I don't know.
I don't care.
I just wish I'd never let you
Into my life
Wish I'd never let you
Convince me to tell that lie.
I don't love you
I never could
I never did
I never will
And at least this time
I'm not telling a lie.
