These Lies

You were there
The room was filled and empty
You were there
Let's be fulfilled and steady

Let's build on that first smile
That smile held so unsteady
Never promised you
Ready was when I was ready

You
Confide
Combined
Relied
Watch you as you
Read these eyes
As you read these lies
Run away from...

Maybe I'm not cut out to be
This man who stands here
In boy's clothes and boy's dreams
I've been smoke and fears
Shed my lights through prisms of your tears
Never promised you
Steady was when I was ready
