Living Lies

All my life,
I've been living a lie;
Joy wasn't mine,
Until I gave us a try.

All my life,
I've been living these lies,
Never felt fine,
Until I looked in your eyes.

Now, tell me why...
Why should I
Live another lie?

I held my guard up at first,
Already, I had expect the worst;
Didn't think about the best,
You showed me I was settling for less:
Girl, I believe you and what you say,
You maintained patience all the way;
Now, if you still want me,
There's something I must clarify
That you just don't see.

All my life,
I've been living a lie;
Joy wasn't mine,
Until I gave us a try.

All my life,
I've been living these lies,
Never felt fine,
Until I looked in your eyes.

Now, tell me why...
Why should I
Live another lie?

Not the one I want, but who I crave,
I feen so much that I am your slave;
Pleasing you is all this heart desires
I feel passion so deep beyond the fires;
Girl, I want to do this with you so bad,
That my eyes see better after what I had;
But I stand here one state of mind,
There's something must bring to light,
That still in the way of the blind.

All my life,
I've been living a lie;
Joy wasn't mine,
Until I gave us a try.

All my life,
I've been living these lies,
Never felt fine,
Until I looked in your eyes.

Now, tell me why...
Why should I
Live another lie?
No more lies, baby,
Let's forget it now.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
