Why do people lie?
Why are we afraid of the truth?
Lies hurt people
Like a shattered heart.

Lies are like shackles
That bound us to our fear
Lies get people down
To the ground.

When you lie, people
Believe what you say.
But when they believe
What you have told them
Their not the ones getting hurt
You’re the one getting hurt instead.

Why do you f***ing care?
You’re not the one getting hurt!
You let your best friend get hurt.

Why is going to get hurt.
Because of the stupid lie you
Told him.
