The truth in a lonely letter
If I was to tell you that all lies begin with L, I would be correct, but who would believe me?
To the rest of the world L is truth, L is justice.
But to me, L is lies.
Not even the name he so casually gives out is true.
"How do you know this?" You'll ask me.
I know this because I can see it,
I can see it with my own eyes.
I see through his lies
I can see the truth in his name
I see the man who hides behind the letter, that oh-so-lonely letter, L.
Those rare few who know him personally know that not one of the names he gives out are real.
Nobody else knows the truth…
-well, maybe his right hand man, Watari wasn't it? Isn't that what their calling him? Maybe he knows, maybe…-
I doubt anyone truly knows the man behind the letter.
Hiding from the world behind that lonely letter.
I once wanted to be the one behind that lonely letter,
I once wanted to be better, to surpass the man behind the letter.
I once wanted to kill the man behind the lonely letter,
I once wanted to be with the man behind that lonely letter.
But now…
I know what its like to be alone, to be the man behind the letter.
I once set out to destroy him,
Now I only feel pity for him.
When was the last time he felt the warmth of another human, another lover?
When was the last time he had an actual conversation with an actual friend?
I used to look up to him.
I used to hate him.
I used to love him.
Now I only pity the man behind that lonely letter.
If you lie to someone, they'd lie right back,
There would be no truth between you.
If you told someone a false name they would never know the true you.
Just like the man behind that lonely L.
There were a lot of lonely, little letters were I grew up, every letter of the alphabet.
But no one was as lonely as L
L.
My lonely L…
No.
My lonely Lawliet.
Forever hiding behind a letter.
