Pretty Lies

Pretty Lies

Now
It really doesn't matter
What he might have said
Pretty lies taste like love
wrapped up
in his bed
And
I don't want to understand
Why these things must be
Or forget the kiss
He meant for her
That he gave to me
and
I try to pretend
I 'm not 2nd choice
In his game we play
and
I try to forget
I am nothing
everytime he walks away
And pretty lies underneath
the sorrow and the pain
tried to wash this hurt away
but it always leaves a stain
And pretty lies inside his eyes
And I'm begging for a sign
a glimpse of hope
of anything
to say oneday
he'll be mine

But his eyes just shine
there is no sign

And it's pretty lies
on his lips
of love he speaks to me
And I drink it up
with a thirst unquenched
in subtle misery
And I pray for a meaning
and strength to suffer thru this pain
An answer
a reason
that I didn't love this love in vain
But I have no meaning
in his silence
the bitter answers
left to taste
there is no reason
that in his hands
my forgotten heart is left
to waste

And pretty lies on those finger tips
that softly soothe my soul
A wicked grin
and cunning moves
to which I lose control
And at his feet
I say it all
But dare not say too much
But he knows
I'd die a million times
for just one more touch

And pretty lies across these shattered
dreams
that drench this tear soaked floor
cold words break in whispers
"I don't love him anymore"
Maybe I'll believe it
if I speak it one more time
And pretty lies again
but he never leaves my mind

And she's pretty
Yeah~~ so pretty
much prettier then me
cuz she's got his hand in hers
And I 'm just the one he did not see
And it really does not matter
When he's all that I hold dear
And pretty lies taste so sweet
when it's what you want to hear
