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
