why did you say that?
because you know it's not true!
did you do it for words?
or friends?
You didn't do such thing to me.
or yourself!
so why say you did?

if we lived in a tank
and water poured in for every lie you made
we'd be dead by now,

but you decide to lie
no such thing has happened,
or ever will
so there was no point in lieing
one thousand lies
