more than once you lied

Star Alvarado 2004 (Indiana)



you say you mean it
you say you care
why don't you just leave me alone here
the darkness is my only friend
leave me like the others alone and dead

I can hear the lie in your words
I can hear the lie in your voice
you say you mean it but you don't
you say you care but you lie
you say you love me that can't be right
you say you wouldn't leave me but that's not true

more than once you lied
got me in my feelings when you died
