Life of Untimely Lies


Tell me that there's nothing wrong Lie to my face Keep me locked inside your heartless embrace Smile with your deceiving lips Your piercing eyes ignite me Your words bound my every move How did I let you get this far? How can I forgive you of your debts Your touch entices me Lay my body down and forget the world There is nothing but this moment but when the time ends, when the sand runs clear what is left of me? I am back where I began with love lost and a broken heart Left to pick up the remaining pieces that were only partially glued together to begin with when will I learn? Its like a bad sequel and happens all over again Like a broken record No mistakes corrected nothing changes We love together, live together enchanting moments and fragmented dreams Leave us broken and barely able to breathe Confusing torture this always is Mixed emotions with words unspoken There's no such thing as a beautiful goodbye With tears and fake smiles Barely left to touch thrown to our own memories Made to forget To live without A withdrawal stronger than death A yearning to regress To taste the innocence once more You speak I cry I love you Please leave Go and leave me be Too complicated Creates a mess beyond repair this time I just got my life together Just learned to breathe without you inside me Overcame my addiction Until you breathed my name Then it came rushing like a forcing wind It overtook me With dreams and visions Wishing I could drink you in once more Needing a taste Longing for a moment to freeze in time I just got straight How could you ask me Leave me be Don’t lay me down Don’t look at me Don’t speak my name let me live my life You had your chance And your loss is someone else's gain
