Lies Resurfaced


When you think all is right and nothing can go wrong Life tests you again to see where you are most strong Ever heard a lie being told, but you already knew the truth? Said they wouldn’t lie to you, but it didn’t come through No asking questions because all things will turn for bad But the lie still lingers so you doubt what all you had The truth no longer seems real, by far it cannot be Standing in the way of my trust and true iniquity The hardest part about it, you put all your faith in them Only to find out the lies resurfaced were the one within No telling what’s real, no telling what’s fake The lies I hear are no mistake Purposefully hidden for one’s own lie Take back the trust, it will not survive Close to your heart, you feel the power untrue Unfolding in the light where I once trusted you.
