A One Side Story
If I say what was true,
then this would all be through.
Over and over again I think.
I tell more lies to myself than an eye blinks
but, who am I to say that it would be over.
Only if I had kept you as a secret lover
rather than opening the seal
now I have to pay the high price on that one bill
‘cause I broke the very thing that kept you hidden in the abyss of my heart,
Now with every word that I hear comes a shooting dart
aimed just for me
Why won’t they just let me be?
But, none of them hear my plea
It’s like they sent out a decree
Only if I had kept you in the abyss of my heart.
Then I wouldn’t feel so torn apart
