Kiss Of Lies

My heart spoke voiceless by the clouded fear of truth.
Love was spoken, love was confessed. Heat aroused clothes undressed.
But something stood in the way. There was something I didn’t say.
Our last awkward kiss, deceitful it spoke of other peoples lips.
My heart wasn’t true, I lied when I said it belonged to you.
I feel lost for the first time, no love, no happiness, no pain, no divine.
Nothing precious, nothing to remember,
No one I’ve got, no one to treasure,
Forget the faces, forget the smiles.
Look at the real me, look into my eyes
Forever eternity bound, you forgot you let your guard down
I took advantage of this, now left only to reminisce
I left you with such a heavy heart now not together officially apart
