Lies All Round

Lie after lie, you've done it again,
Day after day, you're going insane,
Every second, every minute, hurts the same way,
Every sound, every word, whatever you say,

I thought you were the one to trust,
And now your trust has turned to rust,
I'm sick of this pointless little game,
Now it's time to be put to shame,

I'm scared of what will be done,
Because you think that this is just fun,
Rumours, lies and all the rest,
It's time for you to just confess,

Now you think you can steal them away,
Or you can just lead them astray,
Well you may have hurt me, but you can't hurt them,
Because if I were flower, they'd be my stem....
