Now I know how you lied,
and you continued, while I cried.
And you did so while I died.....
Inside.

How could you let those lies grow in my head.
How they beat me down, til I was dead.
And those feelings in my soul
They never had a chance to grow.

Maybe God was kind to me,
when this deception is all I see.
Not the kindnesses that you gave.
It all fades, when our moon wanes.

I am sure, for a time,
that once a month, you'll fill my mind.
With kinder thoughts...the heart is blind....
So sublime.

But I walk a narrow way.
While my angel sits at bay.
and she whispers yea or nay...
to console me.

If I listen...maybe not.
To know protection...I forgot.
She'll hold me close if there a plot..
...to push me to fall.

So you see Dear, there's a shield.
I'll feel the pain, but demise will yield.
And I'll learn from day to day,
about that path and the narrow way.

I know the anger has subsided.
and the feelings, you can't deny it.
But mine are frozen in that time,
When you let her in my mind.

But now I know just who she is.
and what you made her out to be.
You thought those lies would draw me close.
Even some score between you and me.

But all they did was make us die.
No room within my heart.
tainted all the good you'd shown,
Not the way to make a start.

So here we are, now torn apart.
Deep down, you musta wanted it this way.
No more lies laid upon my heart
No more hurtful games you play.

So on this cliff, I stand and ponder.
The wind blows through my hair.
I see the tender times, I let my mind wander,
with thoughts of you standing there.

Standing there...standing there.
Are you standing there?
