Lies
Something in your eyes kept me going
Something you said woke me up
But I should have guessed it was all a lie
All a game, all an act
I hoped for so much more
What a fool I've been
I wanted to know you
I wanted to care
why couldn't you see
the light you brought me
You painted a smile on a tired face
bringing it back to life
Your words were kind and charming
but I wasn't enough for you
I hope your happy
You've won the game
Now go ahead and collect your prize
For you have trapped me in your lies
