Standing Lies
I don't know what happened back in sleepy August
But since then we haven't been completely honest
See we both held secrets that we buried down deep
It seemed cheep but if said it aloud we'd both weep
We'd drop down to our knees and say baby please
can't we go back to being like the birds and the bees
But it's too late, the problems are too great
You only dream about days like this and you hate
The feeling you get when you hear the words I cheated
Caught off guard you ask to have them repeated, get heated
So upset, this is a moment you can never forget
I should forgive just because you're showing regret
Not yet, you haven't proved a single thing to me
Don't pretend like you feel bad about it truly
Giving up your affection like that so loosely
Cruelly hurting me and then trying to act moody?
Yelling at me and getting an attitude
For all the time on you I'm shown no gratitude
Now that is rude, a full lack of appreciation
I feel I've been cut short like an abbreviation
All this for some inebriation? She be hating
I need to step back from all this for meditation
It's like medication, takes away all stress
And the whole world of problems seems like a small mess
I can't really blame others for being human
So I stop fuming, and relax so you can
Take a look at your own actions and react
Cause you can't change anything that's already tracked
But since then we haven't been completely honest
See we both held secrets that we buried down deep
It seemed cheep but if said it aloud we'd both weep
We'd drop down to our knees and say baby please
can't we go back to being like the birds and the bees
But it's too late, the problems are too great
You only dream about days like this and you hate
The feeling you get when you hear the words I cheated
Caught off guard you ask to have them repeated, get heated
So upset, this is a moment you can never forget
I should forgive just because you're showing regret
Not yet, you haven't proved a single thing to me
Don't pretend like you feel bad about it truly
Giving up your affection like that so loosely
Cruelly hurting me and then trying to act moody?
Yelling at me and getting an attitude
