All I Need To Sleep At Night

This is the issue

It kind-of makes me sick 

All your lies and your deception

And you get away with it 

People choose to believe you and your outrageous lies 

While all I've ever done was tell the truth 

Which got dirt kicked in my eyes 

How can someone be so callous?

How can someone be so cold?

You have had the world handed to you before you were ever old

And how can this make you happy?

Deceiving people so

Or is it that your so miserable that this is the only way you know?

I don't understand why they trust you after everything you have done 

You have given no reason to 

Still i'm out numbered 

The rest of the world to one 

Maybe one day they will see you

For who you really are

Or maybe they will stay blinded and you will become another star

No matter what happens 

I will know I was always right

Your games never worked on me 

And that is all I need to sleep at night

You sound wounded.. Like someone hurt you and that wound was never mended. It reminds me of still waters that rage under the surface. I'm dying to know what the rest of the story is. Thank you for sharing.

I've felt and totally understand your current (?) situation.
