[murielllee]

I've told lies

To avoid danger once

To make myself look good twice

To hide my shame many many times

I've told lies

It was never to be mean

Merely to keep my past unseen

It's true, things are never as they seem

I've told white lies

Watching them smile later makes it worth it

Keeping them from being hurt is worth it

Showing them you're still strong is also worth it

White lies, just lies

Where do you draw the line?
