I Love You Lies

Walks himself out the door
He looks for reasons he looks for chores
Anything to set him free
From their world of make believe
That she don’t think that he can see

She tells I love you lies
Looks straight into his eyes
What once was a raging fire now lacks desire
She tells I love you lies

He says he does but he don’t
At least the way he once had known
It’s like a movie that’s been shown
In the end resentment grows
Living in a comfort zone

He tells I love you lies
Looks straight into her eyes
What once was a raging fire now lacks desire
He tells I love you lies

They try to hide it with a smile
If they could they would get out
Three words come from their mouths
Holding habit and that’s about
The only thing that they don’t doubt

They tell I love you lies
Look into the others eyes
What once was a raging fire now lacks desire
They tell I love you lies

Once a month they both share
Out of need not out of care
They’d rather be elsewhere
Where there’s merit not despair
In the words that meet the air

They tell I love you lies
Look into the others eyes
What once was a raging fire now lacks desire
They tell I love you lies

They’re not quickly passing time
Days like years roll slowly by
Living I love you lies
