A Lie

I have never lied to you

I won't ever hide the truth.

Trust me when I say this now

I won't ever let you down.

I'll admit it, I'll confess,

My heart is heavy; my head's a mess.

Searching high and low each day,

Only trying to find my way.

I've told a lie to no one else,

I've told a lie to just myself.

I catch another fallen tear

By a thread my soul's in tact

I question if I'm standing here

One, two, three steps back,

Stumble down, heart attack,

But I tell the world it's just a scratch.

I thank God, and the heavens above,

Try to be grateful for all He does.

At times I struggle; at times I crash,

This world, it moves way too fast.

I can't keep up with how it is,

I can't forget; I can't forgive.

All I can really do or say,

Is tell myself that I'm ok.

Often times, I feel just fine,

But sometimes I tell a lie.

I catch another fallen tear

By a thread my soul's in tact

I question if I'm standing here

One, two, three steps back,

Stumble down, heart attack,

I tell the world it's just a scratch.

Everything will be all right,

Sleep it off; sleep tonight.

The morning might be sunny bright

Sleep tonight; we're all right.
