Liar

You know I'd never lie to you And to tell the truth There was a time where I'd die for you But now I'm dead With nothing to do

I was nothing but a tool for your amusement Your wants and needs And once I outlived my usefulness You threw me away, and found another to use

So bury me with your memories Like your childhood toys and houses on trees You know I never lied to you But now I'm dead, and soon you will be too

My soul wanders these streets My spirit flies above my town While my heart lies six feet underground

Used to hope you'd see the light I now know you never will The world will keep spinning for you While mines now stands still

Bury me with your memories Of past lovers and past enemies Live with the fact that I never lied to you While even after death With me you did, and still do.
