lies

Joe fritz

The lies that I have told you
Can not be justified
It doesn't matter what I say
The truth is still a lie

The closest thing to honesty
Is far and few between
The only lies forgiven
Are the lies that went unseen

But now it is over
And nothing can be done
We can hide from the truth
But we can never run

From the lies that came between us
The truth will never fall
On the lip that once believed in me
The lies will end it all
