Too Damn Much

I look into your heart and see
something so guarded,
something so precious,
I could not bear to break it.
I cannot stand to see your pain,
your tear-filled eyes searching me,
your helplessness again.
I would suffer anything to spare you,
I will keep unending silence.
I'm scared to live without you,
and scared to tell the truth.
So I will lie.
Yes, I will lie,
lie to save you,
lie because I love you too damn much.

So many days I've turned to you,
in pain you merely turned away.
Afraid to see me growing weaker,
fading with each breath I took.
You wanted to smash the wall in rage.
You couldn't fix, so you'd destroy.
I won't let it be that way.
I'd rather die than cause you pain.
I'd rather keep it all for me.
So I will lie.
Yes, always lie.
I will lie to save you.

I'll drown in lies,
and smile through my pain.
I'll keep my secret locked inside.
Anything to see you smile again.
I will lie.
Always lie.
Lie to save you.
Lie because I love you
too damn much.
