White Lies

All the warmth in the world was in your smile
Now it's gone cold
The love that was in your eyes
In my soul
Oh, but it came back out and scarred me
It was just imaginary

CHORUS:
Sweet sorrow and tears
Drown me in fear
All who are dead
Take me instead
Look in my eyes
Tell me it was a lie
Tell me I'm a lie
Tell me goodbye

And the same in his eyes too
How could I betray you?
Why did I run from the truth?
Oh, I breathed for you
Now I force my heart to beat
And bleed for you

Chorus x1

Thought I had it all
But I was already gone
So far when you came
To save me, praise me
Oh, fateful day when you went away


Sweet sorrow and tears
Drown me in fear
(The tears that I cry, don't let me die, where are you now?)
All who are dead
Take me instead
(I deserve death, I'll take my punishment, where have you gone? Are you here? I fear I'll never see you again...)
Look in my eyes
Tell me it was a lie
(All a lie, all this time)
Tell me I'm a lie
(I'm a lie, I'm a liar, once again burned by your fire)
Tell me goodbye
(Oh, goodbye because I lied...
I'm sorry.)

In case you can't tell, this is a song I wrote when I wondered what would happen if I ever cheated on my boyfriend.
If I ever got one, that is.
Yeah right.
Also, I used a verse I made up while writing another Diary of a Psycho. I thought it fit in the song, so I used it. =)
