Some words and lies

This I say to you
In the sad guise of a verse I know you'll never read
I don't keep promises I don't make.
You have to understand...
And not be petulant about imagined unrealities
Sometimes I am tired too
And all the world is not about you
And try to understand - yes, I am avoiding you
I like my bleakness and my oblivion
And my dark shadows are shelters
I need to hide and I need to shield
The secrets I can't reveal
Some things are better not stirred
Some words are best not said
So, yes, I am a coward and I will refrain
From speaking out when you are vain
And sometimes, when you act out of hand
I will sigh and laugh it off
As a charm and when
I die some more inside
I hope you never see me cry
I don't want to explain sometimes
I just want the loneliness
And no reasons to answer why
I think that's why I lie...
I hope you're happy, I wish you well
And it doesn't have to be me you tell
I wish you all the best in life
Just let me be, just let me be.
