I Lie It is hard to say exactly where in life that I have been And, I only counted on myself when I needed a friend So, I just took those years far inside my mind Found truth in it all that I have missed for some time... It was always that I had wondered where life would surely lead And, every time I wandered off I led right back to me From a child until now and from the moment it began I lie, I just lie, about who I really am... So, then the years just found me there where I was never alone But, the heart I vowed to love just wasn't my way home I lived the life I thought I was meant to live forever And, found the days even longer when the nights found us together... I tried to walk the righteous road to a far and better place I tried to endlessly fill this left out lonely space But, I carried through the honest way and the even lonelier me I lie, I just lie, and try so hard to make believe... So, further down this road I found some peace of mind at last Though there are moments I can't help but to still look on back I am truer to myself now but to others they don't see I lie, I just lie, about my soul flying free... I did find a single journey that at least I can say I've finally lived a newer me on one July day And, it was awesome beyond words and surely how I vowed to live And, a way I'll fight until I die as a purer way to give... So, now I lie, I just lie, perfectly in the arms I choose And, now, there's never a day that again I'll ever lose Cause, I lie, Oh, I lie, before the truth and my true love Lie before my wish, my friend, everything I've dreamed of... Saun Sauni :) Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps |
