Lie to Me

Keep me satisfied with your dull blades
Cut and cut until it tears and rips
These words you say only ever escalate
Your tongue’s sharp like a sword’s tip

I just can’t get you out of my head
Inseparable like conjoined twins
I hate that I like what we said
The words that make my lights dim

I need you
I need to hate you

You were my defense
The one to shield me from danger
Everything you ever said makes sense
I made you and bet a deep wager

Life was great at first with you
Nothing could touch me, nothing hurt
But I didn’t see my real enemy was you
Your words were always the worst

Like a subtle burn that warms
And a frozen spark to keep me alive
I want you to claw at me and harm me
Lie to me and tell me I’m not worth life

You’re my worst enemy and my best friend
The one to care for me and watch my back
Love me with the tenderness of broken glass
Hurt me with the things I lack

I need you
I need to hate you

You were my defense
The one to shield me from danger
Everything you ever said makes sense
I made you and bet a deep wager

Life was great at first with you
Nothing could touch me, nothing hurt
But I didn’t see my real enemy was you
Your words were always the worst

I thought you’d always love me
But your love was limited to the mirror
So I’m stuck with a beckoning need
To shatter your glass and right my error

I don’t need you

Take our life journal and write one more page
To remember for old time’s sake
Before we burn this contracted wage
Dance in the flames and watch my reflection flake

My efforts are nothing but futile
The bloodied glass still shows your face
Lie to me once in a while
Like the way you said you’d leave without a trace…

 

 

A/N: I was listening to Love the Way you Lie Part II for the mood and tone.

If it helps to read it with the music.

This, for some reason, made my day.
