You Gave Me Lies


You gave me lies as a present

Tied with a fancy bow

Hoping I would like them,

Hoping I wouldn’t know.

You gave me a hard time

When I threw your gift away.

You said, “You’re overreacting.

You said, “It was a mistake!

What are you being mean for?!”


You gave me lies as a present

Tied with a fancy bow.

I don’t put up with anyone’s nonsense;

You of all people should know.
