Love Lies

Love lies.
And I was never in love.
I will deny it every time you ask.
I will say "No."
I will say "It didn't mean anything."
I will say "I'm fine."

Love liesIn your fingertips as you trace
The curves of my body,
Memorizing every turn. 
And I was happy.

But suddenly I'm screaming and
Holding my head in my hands
Because I can't remember how to breathe.
And I'm pounding my dashboard because
I can't handle listening to this song anymore. 
But I don't like the silence.

Love lies,And I didn't ask for this. 
I didn't mean to spit my heart out so close
To your feet because you keep stepping on it
And I don't think you even realize it. 

I don't want to lean into your words
As they fall from your soft lips
Because I know that they're false. 
And it makes me angry as hell. 

I guess this is what I'm saying:
I don't need you. 
I don't want you. 
I was never yours. 

Love lies.
And I was never in love.
I will deny it every time you ask.
I will say "No."
I will say "It didn't mean anything."
I will say "I'm fine."
