comfortable lies















You have a habit
of doing what I do
saying what I say
saying it the same way
it makes me wonder
if your smile is just a charade
everyone wants something
you're no different
I know what I want--
to be left alone

there was a time when
all I wanted was the truth
but the truth is a hard fit
so I'll settle
for comfortable lies
I've been thinking
there's got to be more than this
but I also know
my best years are gone
what good is truth
what good is direction
what good is that girl
smiling at me
what good are these things
if I can't use them?
