Analysis of Nothing But Lies
He was lying
from day one.
I was blind
all this time.
Regret the day
that I saw that guy.
There are wounds
in my heart;
they'll leave scars for a lifetime.
Everything has its price
and I was charged
way too much.
For something that I never
intended to buy.
Four years of nothing but lies.
