Did you hope I wouldn't notice
You gave me empty words to drink?
Well my tongue's tasted more lies
Than you were dare to think
Your not the only one
With truth like poison in their veins
Who's ribs are shaped like cages
Holding tightly throw the pain
I knew the bitter flavor
Of a heart that's giving up
Before my lying lips
Had even touched that wretched cup
And when you pour a glass
Of words to cover what you hide
Perhaps don't leave your secrets
Clinging tightly to the side
