I want to help you
but I can't help you
I can't do a fucking thing
do you know how much that fucking hurts?
To see the person you love in so much pain?
I can't give you medication
can't give you enough love
can't even fucking tell you everything's alright
what the hell am I suppose to say?
"Maybe our future will be more okay."
I lie
I'm lying
I'm a liar
(Since when am I a liar?)
I'm a filthy fucking liar
Why do we lie to the people we love the most?
Do we think we're actually protecting them?
Protection is just a mask
hiding what should really be said
what should be known
let me in, let me know
only then may I be able to not lie
to maybe help
a little
better.
