Grown Man Lies

You looked me in the eyes… and lied.

Old enough to know better,

but you still tried.

(Mmm....)

You say you’re grown, but your words don’t show,

Truth turns cold every time you go.

I gave my trust, I gave you my name,

You gave excuses and called it pain.

(“called it pain…”)

You hide behind the softest lies,

You call it love — I see disguise.

You play the part, but I know the scene,

You can’t fool me with what’s between.

Grown man, still telling lies,

Staring at me with those guilty eyes.

You break my trust, then act surprised,

Love can’t live where truth has died.

(truth has died…)

You twist your words, you gaslight the flame,

Make me doubt myself, then shift the blame.

You say you care, but it’s control,

You call it love — it’s just your hold.

(“it’s just control…”)

You hide your guilt in sweet replies,

You fear the truth more than goodbye.

You think I’ll stay, but I’ve learned to see,

Every lie just sets me free.

Grown man, still telling lies,

Hiding behind your thin disguise.

I gave you love, you gave me why’s,

Now I’m done believing your alibis.

(“I’m done…”)

You’re not lost, you choose the mask,

You fake your peace, but truth won’t last.

Each lie you told became your chain,

You built your world out of my pain.

(“my pain… my pain…”)

Grown man, still telling lies,

I see the truth behind your eyes.

You played your part, now I’ll play mine —

Walking away this time.

(“I’m choosing me…”)
