I Lie Because I Love You

You think you know me

Well think again

What you think you know

Is of your own creation

You think I'm fine

& that I'm alright

You see my smile

Not what's behind

But my smile is a lie

In its truest form

I smile for you

To hide my pain

This you should know

This i have said

Pain is my portrait

Painted in despair

Sometimes i wish

You would never forget

& sometimes i wish

You would never remember

Because if you forget

You lack sympathy

But if you remember

You sigh in frustration

I'm not like the others

I'm one of a kind

& I know it's not easy

To stay by my side

I wish i was stronger

So I could stand alone

But I need someone

& i wish it wasn't you

You deserve more

You deserve better

I wish you would go

But I want you to stay

Without you

There's nothing

Without you

I'd die

You're my one

My only one

& through this pain

I love you still

So that's why i lie

In its truest form

I smile for you

& pray you will stay
