Why Would You Lie?

My least favorite part about you
Is that you have a tendency to say
One thing but mean something completely different.
You always tell me that I can take all the time I need
But you keep trying to push me to hurry.

You know why I am this way,
And you say it's okay, you understand,
But if that was true, we wouldn't be in this situation.

My least favorite part about myself
Is that I know you are no good for me,
But I can never seem to stop thinking about you.
You have made your way into every part of my life.
Why can't you just leave my mind.

Even now months later,
I can still only ask the question
Why would you lie?
