don't tell me

Location

don't tell me what i'm thinking,

why i'm saying what i'm saying,

why i'm doing what i'm doing.

 

don't tell me what my motives are 

as if you know exactly what's going on 

in my head

 

how am i supposed to react

when no one ever believes what i'm saying?

 

how am i supposed to react 

when every statement i say 

is countered with

"you're lying"

"you're only saying that beacause.."

and "why can't you just tell the truth?"

 

is it a twitch in my eye?

is it a pheromone i emit?

because the way you treat me

is as if i don't have a single honest bone in my body.

 

but, honestly,

i don't remember the last time i lied.
