_What If..._

What if I told you that I lie to you?  
That's right, I lie to you.  
I know it hurts, but it's true.  
I'm not lying this time, I swear.  
But I do tell you the truth when I say  
I don't always tell the truth  
Though I always try.

I lie to you  
Every time I say  
"I don't love you"  
And when I say  
"I don't care about you"  
You can bet that I'm lying.  
"I hate you"  
Is probably the biggest lie I've said  
Although "I can't stand being near you"  
Is pretty close too.

No matter how much I try  
I'm not perfect  
So don't expect me to be  
Because I don't expect you  
To be perfect either.

You should know by now  
That you light up my life  
And that isn't a lie.
