Preserve your memories, keep them well; what you forget, you can never retell.

As lies spill out my mouth
As thoughts eat me away
The truth is stretched tight…
The pain never strays.

These little white lies
That add up quite a sum
These little white lies –
Supposed to stop at one

Too shy to call for help
Too scared to even admit
Too worried of the consequences –
Oh, the conflict!

Left with no understanding
No answer to my ‘why’
No way to turn around –
Only to tell a lie
