Fluent Lies

Your words came out as lies but as soon as they seeped through my ears and into my tired brain they sounded like the truth
Or just the words that I wanted to hear
You became so fluent at lying to me, I think you just might have convinced yourself that what you were saying was true
Even if your words were never the truth, they felt great
Isn't that what's important
I would ask myself
Too in love and stuck on you to ask myself why if he loved me was he loving her body last night
