Do you want to play a game of truth or lie?

I promise you’ll win—

Make of that what you will.

Here, I’ll go first.

You make me want to die.

Funny how it’s both, isn’t it?

Sometimes I think heartbreak really can kill.

Not that you would know.

You wanted all of my love but never wanted to try,

But you told me you loved me,

And you said that you always will.

What do your lies look like when you look in the mirror?

How long were you planning your goodbye?

Liars don’t love but leave.

Did you know you’re worth enough to kill?

Because I gave you everything,

And you gave me every excuse.

Did you know you’re worth enough to kill?

Because you were the center of all my labors and loves,

I gave you my all,

And you took it gladly..

Loving you killed part of my soul.

Did you know you’re worth so much?

That you’re enough to kill?

Because you are.
