And I would be lying


And I would be lying if I said

id forgotten about you by now

and that when the smoke tears at my lungs

and the chemicals

hit my brain 

I don't cry when I hear our song

and I'd be lying 

if I said I woulnt speak to you again

and that i didn't still hope for a text from you that erases the past

...

but I'm not lying when i say

he makes that all go away

and that his big blue eyes 

steal my heart more than any others 

and I'd be

lying 

if I said I didn't love that boy

and id be lying

if I said I wanted to love that boy

and I'd be lying 

if I said I wasn't scared

but I'm not lying when I admit

you are finally beginning to dissapear
