lie

whispers in the dark circle 'round your name tales I couldn’t fathom yet the truth still came you turned the tides, you showed me skies of blue painted me a picture but it wasn’t true every step, every word, every move you make it’s a masterpiece of shadows in your wake I should’ve known better but I played along humming to the rhythm of your siren’s song lie, oh lie, it’s written in your eyes a mask you wear so well, it’s no surprise lie, oh lie, the dance you choreograph but I see through the steps, I see the aftermath I saw you standing there, same place, same scene once in my arms but now you’re in between the chains you hold, that bind someone new but the links all look like déjà vu you hide in the dark, a master of disguise but behind those eyes lies a plan contrived every sway, every turn, it’s all too clear the same old story, whispered in my ear lie, oh lie, it’s written in your eyes a mask you wear so well, it’s no surprise lie, oh lie, the dance you choreograph but I see through the steps, I see the aftermath and I can’t blame you, no, I share the shame I fed the fire, I played the game ignored the truths, embraced the sweet deceit now I’m watching you, and the cycle repeats don’t want to leave a trace, don’t want him to know but the pain will cut deeper when it starts to show the truth will come, it’ll rise like a tide and he’ll see the mask that you try to hide
