Lie


If I could tell a lie to you It would be justified; If I could tell a lie to you It really wouldn’t be a lie; If I could tell a lie to you It would surely be once upon a time; If I could tell a lie to you It would trick you into belief; If I could tell a lie to you It would make you see me; If I could tell a lie to you Its purpose would be divine; If I could tell a lie to you It’d wish it could be truth in time; If I could tell a lie to you It’d be the secret that in me shines; If I could tell a lie to you I’d claim that you were mine.
