Why lie?
Is it worth it?
Do you benefit?
Yes No Maybe?
Do you really have to?
Lies, they backfire
Do you admire the intention of your desire
To be a liar
It stings like a bee
Do I let it go or leave it be?
What do you win?
Because this is a sin
It's a drug
And you're addicted
What about the people around you?
Do you care about their emotions
Slow down before you cause a commotion
You are not going anywhere with lies
The truth will come out
Come,Come back
The doors of conscience are calling
Why lie?
