Don't tell me...

How do you go on living when you know you are deceiving someone you love?
How do you know which feelings to trust?
Well, you don't. You just make a decision and stick with it no matter what.
Or, at least that's what you want to do...

In the end, a lie hurts you more than it hurts the one you are lying to.
You're the one that knows, you're the one that has to live with a monster inside you.
While your friends or family remain blissfully unaware.
We lie for many reasons, some of them good, some of them bad.
All I know is that I lie to protect the future.
And believe me, it kills me inside to this very day.
