I lied

I’m sorry, but I lied.

And I would do it all again,

And again,

And again,

Because that is what love does

I’m sorry, but I lied

When I told you I loved you.

That is so un-true!

Cos what I felt, and still feel for you

Cannot possibly be confined by words,

It is much too deep and broad and intense for words

I’m sorry, but I lied

Every time I said it was okay,

And every time I smiled and said I was fine!

Every time I painted on my face,

And let my laughter ring out.

I wanted so much for you to be happy,

So I never cared what it cost me

I’m sorry, but I lied

When I asked you to go,

When I said it didn’t matter,

When I said you could fly.

It hurt like nothing ever has a right to

And it dug a you-sized hole

That nothing else will ever fill

But I would do it all again,

And again,

And again,

Cos it’s what’s best for you...
