The Liar

from NEONEON by Nate Monoxide

/

lyrics

You speak beautiful lies. You work your way inside. You put a dent into my pride. But I saw you coming, let you go. Like a dozen who came before. I'm not wasting my time with you. It turns out we're both the same, I also play the games you played. I lied my face of when I said that you mean anything. I needed so much more and you helped to pass the boredom. Using my liar's voice and I'm saying that I love you. I'm not saying I don't like you, I'm saying I'm just like you. I just want to touch you, but I could never trust you. And you shouldn't trust me 'cause all I'll do is let you down. But I'll be smiling so convincingly that all else is drowned out. I've found that I can steal a heart through sheer persistence alone. I can make you want to die. I can make you scream and moan. I can promise you the world then I'll just take it all away. I can say I'll never leave then suddenly one day you'll find you're broken, choking. Air gone from your lungs. It's like you're drowning. Pounding broken hearts have sung this song before you, my dear, and every note so insincere. How could you think someone could love a broken mess like you? While I'm here I may as well show you both heaven and hell. I'll be your high, you will adore me. Then I'll numb your soul like morphine. I will be your worst and best. Show you the world, teach you regret. Tear your heart out, hold it closely, my brand new bloody trophy. It's mostly been fun for me giving you what you need. Deceiving you to believe in me. Promise you'll never forget, and tears fill your eyes every time you recall why we fell apart. It all falls on me, and there's nothing left but broken dreams here. So forget me and my hopeless schemes dear. I hope your world burns up. I'm standing in the rain I hope the stars burn out, never to shine again. I wish you all the best. Wish what we shared was real. I hope I've left a hole that you can never fill. I hope this hurts like hell and you resent my name. I hope you can't let go and never smile again. I hope you're happy now. I hope you're satisfied. I'd say I miss you though I do still have my pride. And I am so glad I lied. You did say we're so alike.
