Lie
What if this was all just a lie?
What if you were just a distraction?
What if I promised things
That I intended to break?
You would never know
If I played the part well enough.

False
What if this love was false?
What if you were just a detour?
What if I’m only here
Until she calls me back?
I would leave you
In the blink of an eye.

Gone
What if I were gone?
What if you were still here?
What if I left you,
Standing here alone,
Lonely, longing for a love
That never existed?

True
What if this was never true?
What if you really always knew?
What if you didn't cry
When I ran away,
Back to her and
Back to a happiness without you?

Lie
What if this is all just a lie?
What if you’re just a distraction?
What If I promise things
I intend to break?
You’ll never know
Because I play the part so well.

So I was up late one night and this hit me, dealing with the struggles of long relationships and ex's. What happens when everything that you've built for so long begins to fall apart in your hands? When she looks like the better option, why did you ever leave her? what happened?
