The truth may be killing me

But lying only hurts me so much more

I know whats going on

I know whats going to happen

But you still try and hide it from me

And act like everything is okay

I'm not a child that needs to be protected

Even if I still need you to hold me in your arms

And miss being able to sit in your lap

I'm old enough to hear the truth

I see all the signs

I know what they mean

So why do you still pretend

The truth is slowly killing me

But your lies only hurt me more
