Bad Habit

I've a habit of telling lies

But I'm living my best life

She asks if I'm alright

But she knows I'm wound tight

Everyone else is lying

But they call me a liar

So I guess I'm hiding

In a world of people just alike

I'm always wrong but they're never right

I just wish I could change overnight

I know she's my chance at a good life

She's the one still here, right?

But no matter how I try

I simply can't smile

And so a good chance passes me by

For all I know the best has already taken flight

The worst could be in store for the rest of time

And the past has already died

So I'm searching the night

Hoping someone's holding a light
