Cheap Novel

you read me

like a cheap novel

everytime

but i lie

right to your face

don't know why

because it's easier

or maybe i'm saying "nothing"

to make myself believe it

i lie because i want to look strong

like i can handle it all

balance it all

with a smile on my face

to hide

i know already

you won't be able to take it

it is tough to let people know the real you even if you think they won't like it. or maybe that's not what you mean...
