A man may lie,
To protect himself.
Mine were like fire,
For I burnt myself.
My sins brought me hell.
I wanted you to care.
Now I want you to cry.
The devil always tries.
Never could I get you to be mine,
While I was always yours.
You never wanted to be mine,
But you never left at any time.
I lied about it all.
We were more than what we thought.
So, I lied in excess.
To protect what we held.
