This last time, about a week ago, I ran across a song I wrote a few years back. It's a breakup song, written when I was really angry with Andrew for the way he treated me. I played it then, sounding a little like The Cure. It was an angry punk rock kind of a song. An "I'm glad I'm rid of you" song.
But I never wrote down any chords for it, so every time I play it, it sounds different. This time, I played it in a minor key, and it was sad. An "I'm sorry you felt that you had to lie" song. It lamented the lack of honesty I felt in that relationship. And being a recovering liar myself, I have to keep controlling the lies I tell.
Now that I'm in a relationship that is going on a good path, I turn back to this song and think, I'm really thankful for what I learned there, but I've moved on. And thank God that I have, because that was a huge mess. So here it is, my versatile song. Imagine it sung however you please
Precious Lies
You've told me that you love me
I've heard it all before
But this time it seems empty
And now I need something more.
You say that I'm your everything
You know that's just not true
It's more than words of poetry
That brought me here to you.
Don't you know that I can see right through you?
Your honesty, it cuts me like a knife.
Cause I know there's no genuineness in you
So this won't be the end of my life.
Your hardest tries
Have no disguise
You compromise
With all your precious lies.
Even though you mean it now
That will change all too soon
Your lies are all you can cling to
When I won't give in to you.
No matter how you say it
It comes as no suprise
I won't be just a victim
To all your precious lies
Don't you know that I can see right through you?
Your honesty, it cuts me like a knife.
Cause I know there's no genuineness in you
So this won't be the end of my life.
Your hardest tries
Have no disguise
You compromise
With all your precious lies.
