Just How Long (I Lie To You)
Easy breathing and a steady heart beat
Soft thoughts; a gentle smile that you can't see
Times like this, when I'm raw and real and weak
I thank Heaven that you're blind to me
I don't want to permit this
But I can't push back what I know
So here I stay, with my head in the clouds
And my heart so far below
What I feel, what I fight
The truth stares back in frightened eyes
I pause and wonder, just how long have I been lying to you?
And for just how long will I continue to?
