Darlin', I have a confession to make
I swore to be honest to you and to never let you down
I'm sorry, I lied to you
I told you I loved you
But that isn't true
For the thoughts in my head don't compare
And the word 'love' cannot describe it at all
It's comparing a mere tree to the entire forest
My love, every word I have uttered was in vain
Please, for give me
I'm sorry, I lied to you
I told you until death do us part
But that isnt true
I shall always be by your side
Never leaving your heart, never departing from your mind
I will never allow you to be alone
Honey, can you ever grant me a pardon
For I have sinned and told you untruths
I'm sorry, I lied to you
I told you I wasn't a possesion
But that isn't true
I am yours, and can never be anothers
Bought and paid for, do with what you will
I shall never be claimed as any others
Sweethear, everything I told you was false
For nothing could ever do justice to my feelings inside
I'm sorry, I lied to you
I swore I was able to walk away
But that isn't true
I tried once, and my heart broke
I am here forever and I am here to stay
I tell you truth, atleast for today

"Every spoken thought is just a symbol for something inside your brain. This word, out here, is like that thought in there. But it's never exact. So looking at it another way, every word you say is a lie."

at first, I thought "one sweet talker" but I think you could be sincere to a point. You would like it to be true. I guess I'm a big cynic when it comes to what people say about love.
It's well expressed.
