lies

Every new morning brings with it a new set of lies.
Little white lies, told not to hurt, but to make life more pleasant.
They tell these lies to protect themselves and their reputations.
Of course, every now and then, the day arrives when someone finally decides to tell the truth.

Yes, each new day brings with it a new set of lies.
The worst are the one we tell ourselves before we fall asleep.
We whisper in the dark, telling ourselves we're happy, or that she's happy.
That we can change, or that she will change her mind.
We persuade ourselves we can live with our sins, or that we can live without her.

Yes, each night before we fall asleep, we lie to ourselves, in the desperate desperate hope, that come morning,
it will all be true
