Lying To Me, Maybe Myself

What becomes of the broken hearted

My girl

Unchained melody

Ain't to proud to beg

Son of a preachers man

Stand by me

Janet

Madonna

Just look at me

Yes those are tears running down my face

Broken inside

I am not fine, not this time

Promises never kept

Always telling me one thing

Constantly doing the other

You seem like you would be okay

Grab me tight in that soft embrace

Then you let go

Off again to another

Forgetting that I was even here

Letting me continue believing I am loved

Filling me with hope

All thats left is doubt

No I am not fine

This was never what I wanted

Slowly it kills me to have to say goodbye

Wanting just pick up and walk away

Hearing you whisper my name

It draws me back in

Looking into your lonely sad eyes

Never wanting to give you any pain

Unable to just put it to rest

Allowing everything to circle around again

You pull me in, push me away

Give me hope and crush my soul

I want to believe that your intentions are true

Maybe I'm wrong

Not wanting to confront any of these things

Continuing to be forgotten until you need me again

Allowing the tears to dry to my face

Moving on with the notion that it will turn out okay

Deep down however I'm losing control

Not sure how much more I can withstand

Maybe for now I will just pretend it doesn't bother me

Just to keep you near

Losing you is not something I am ready for

Again the tears run down my face
