Who are you lying to?
As the words fall from your lips,
As you crave another kiss,
Who are you lying to?
Because I know what you are saying can't be true.
It takes more than a few days for love to grow past the kindling stage.
You are preaching about these bright flames I am unsure I can see,
How can that be? Are you seeping honesty?
Too many years of bad habits has left me with little to keep safe,
So do not be upset when I keep telling you to wait.
Render me helpless with your gaze.
Who are you lying to?
Are you aware I am not a tool?
You can not work me as you please.
I could take your jacket, but I rather freeze.
When you say I'm your queeen and it has yet to be a week,
Who are you lying to?
Im skeptical, I already told you.
I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from.
Familar with the stings of broken dreams.
Is that why we were originally drawn to each other?
I can't find the right color.
Something sad, sweet, but liberating and electrifying.
My spirit is rising.
I'm still denying that you tell the truth.
Who are you lying to?
