Liar’s Symphony

I would rather sell all my salty waters than let you leave,

Be the one that got away,

The one I miss on New Year’s Eve.

My intentions were rotten from the start, but so were yours.

Wait up for one more day,

Just let me close all the doors.

You know I play with fire when I get awfully bored,

But I would not play you,

I would rather swallow my words.

They tell me this is defeat or that I am simply selling out,

Losing my common sense,

Taking the higher route.

Still, I would rather drown in my shame than in my pride.

From you, oh, from you, love,

I have nothing left to hide.

My motives were muddy at the beginning, I know it well,

But they are now clear,

Go ahead, drink from the well.
