I guess honesty always falls victim to being broken Leaving the ones still holding truth sacred with scars Worn in hopeless shame the only memory A burden with no pride the only cast off token Tongues painting the beauty of dying trust Staining the canvass of innocent belief with backgrounds Of jaided memories and broken hearts This is where naive dreams and promises Walk away in shame to hide Where lost integrity dies You’re the punch line to a bad joke most people don’t Care enough to remember… because it was really Never that funny How many times have I felt your tears burn When you hear from a stranger That your just a sad girl trying to hold Onto what isn't yours who Wont take the hint that you aren't wanted Your face burns with shame When you realize how you have been tucked away and hidden from a person you flaunted Now This pain is another lesson learned And retracing the tracks these tears have left Will only take you back to the place where Deceit was birthed and your a fresh canvas Clean and ready to be stained with the Vibrant lies that grew all of this hurt I know that I don’t want this anymore so please keep your Lips closed as beautiful as they are When they open so does a door to A life that my honesty can’t thrive in And as much as I love the sound of your voice Lying directly to the center of my chest I still know better so don't try and Lie to me I'm not the one who is gunna Believe it your the only one who Heard that and found a reason To feel impressed It just makes me feel ashamed and violated Because you think so little of me Like I don't know the difference between What's real what's pretend and I won’t let the wasteland of your carelessness Be a place for my hope to die in If I told you that you and I would always be My choice then I would have lost the one thing That keeps my head held high I would be just like you another beautiful mind Using the gift of eloquent words cheapening a gift God gave us I’d be lying
