Lies
Every time you smile at me,
Something inside me breaks.
Every little word you say is too much.
There's not enough in this world of fakes.
I can't believe you're quiet now.
You stare at me with a pain I've never seen.
It's like you're hoping you'll wake up,
and that it was all some kind of dream.
I can't believe you don't feel it yourself,
That we're both living through a lie.
I hold onto you when I should push away.
But I can't stand to see you cry.
I don't do what's best for both of us,
instead I'm selfish and cold.
I'll never have the faith you have,
I'm just not quite that bold.
But every time you fake a smile,
Or I fake one in return.
It makes me wonder if it's not human nature,
to try to live and learn.
And I wonder for a second if life would be different,
if we had never met and become this team.
Would people still have something to rely on,
or are we light's carrying beam?
And the longer we stay together,
who's heart is it that we break?
I don't know how much more I can stand,
or how many more lies we can take.
