Don’t lie to yourself

Someone once told me, love can cause pain When I met you, I thought it was all a game It felt so natural, so effortlessly right I never imagined it would end this fight We were amazed by the path we'd begun Believing the impossible could still be done But now I'm alone, and it's clear to see Love is a blade that cuts endlessly I begged you to speak your truth to me But I forgot to ask you to face your reality I asked you not to lie to me But I forgot to say, don't lie to yourself so easily Lean, see ya You were convinced of the truths you'd declare Persuading me with promises floating in the air Certain in choices you once believed sound Now we both know why they came crashing down From you to me, I never thought you'd stray Undoing the vows we both chose that day And now I let you go, I'll watch you leave Out of love, I step back, though it's hard to grieve Still, I remember the words I'd plead I begged you to speak your truth to me But I forgot to ask you to face your reality I asked you not to lie to me But I forgot to say, don't lie to yourself so easily Lean, see ya I begged you to speak your truth to me But I forgot to ask you to face your reality I asked you not to lie to me But I forgot to say, don't lie to yourself so easily Regret is not always the enemy It can teach us where we chose wrongly Lessons come from the pain we've faced And in the end, maybe it's all grace Lean, see ya
