Contradict and Lie


I will never fall for such things 

Only fools do, love is just a fling 

But he is different he cares more than anyone can 

Contradict and lie 

While my mind is on this constant lullaby 

He likes me, but he is to shy 

Dream about him touching my hair 

Even my mind can't keep him on hold 

Don't give me that soft smile 

You don't know what it does to me for a long while 

Contradict and lie 

A hypocrite is my personality 

Showing a nonchalant person hiding a desperate lover 

A romantic that keeps replaying the same tape in my head 

Why did you have to be so pretty?

It is such a pity 

A pity that I watch you so close 

A pity that I have my mouth tied into notches 

I can't, I won't

It's absurd, a wild dream I knew from the beginning I will wake up from 

But those flashing blue eyes keep begging me to speak

And I cannot control my inside heat 

That is boiling for a release 

Who would fall for these dumb cliches?

Contradict and lie 

That I can't feel a thing when you walk by 

That my heart doesn't melt at your sight 

That my ears haven't been on alert for your voice for a hint of your scent 

But I can't 

So I contradict and pretend 

That I hate the way you smile 

Or the way your mouth shapes when you say something funny

That I hate the way your self confidence is leaking 

And how you poke your nose into everything 

And how you get all messed up after work 

Or how you say my name 

God keep me sane 

Contradict and lie 

With my thoughts bottled up inside my head 

So tight I will never see them take action in this life

But maybe in another one instead
