Lies
In a few years
Maybe I won't wake up sweating
With your face pressed against my eyelids
In a few days
I can talk everything over
With the doctor I paid to discuss you
Until then
I will chew and choke on every moment
That I maybe gave you permission
Part of me hopes
You will text me happy birthday
Perhaps that's my sickest admission
At 17
I thought maybe I could be your Lilith
We were made out of the same soil
Adam I believed
You were one to be admired
All I ever did was adore you
In my lifetime
I had never been so wounded
As the first time when you saw me
As I lied there
With my figure wrapped in cotton
Like a ghost I'd left my body
In the space of who I knew
Stood a godless boy how looked at me
Like a thing he could see through
Did you see me staring back at you
Oh the worst lies are those we tell ourselves
Oh the worst lies are ones we tell ourselves
Oh the worst lies are ones we tell ourselves
On a good day
I fantasize we grab a coffee
You understand how you made me feel worthless
Of all the things
I should be truly disappointed
I am most sad I thought I deserved it
In the space of who I knew
Stood a godless boy how looked at me
Like a thing he could see through
Did you see me staring back at you
Oh the worst lies are those we tell ourselves
Oh the worst lies are ones we tell ourselves
Oh the worst lies are ones we tell ourselves
Oh the worst lies are ones we tell ourselves
Oh the worst lies are ones we tell ourselves
Maybe I won't wake up sweating
With your face pressed against my eyelids
In a few days
I can talk everything over
With the doctor I paid to discuss you
Until then
I will chew and choke on every moment
That I maybe gave you permission
Part of me hopes
You will text me happy birthday
Perhaps that's my sickest admission
At 17
I thought maybe I could be your Lilith
We were made out of the same soil
Adam I believed
You were one to be admired
All I ever did was adore you
In my lifetime
I had never been so wounded
As the first time when you saw me
As I lied there
With my figure wrapped in cotton
Like a ghost I'd left my body
In the space of who I knew
Stood a godless boy how looked at me
Like a thing he could see through
Did you see me staring back at you
Oh the worst lies are those we tell ourselves
Oh the worst lies are ones we tell ourselves
Oh the worst lies are ones we tell ourselves
On a good day
I fantasize we grab a coffee
You understand how you made me feel worthless
Of all the things
I should be truly disappointed
I am most sad I thought I deserved it
In the space of who I knew
Stood a godless boy how looked at me
Like a thing he could see through
Did you see me staring back at you
Oh the worst lies are those we tell ourselves
Oh the worst lies are ones we tell ourselves
Oh the worst lies are ones we tell ourselves
Oh the worst lies are ones we tell ourselves
Oh the worst lies are ones we tell ourselves
