Lies Lies Lies

When we fall in love
we think we are the only ones
to ever, ever have loved like this.
We think that no one else could
possibly be walking around feeling
like their heart is too big for their body
that they are about to combust
from sexual need and desire
but the truth is, we all feel exactly that way
at one point or another.

Another lie is a white dress
that symbolizes purity and love
and happily ever after.
A young bride in ribbons and lace
can bring me to tears,
there is so much hope
all wrapped up in a princess gown and
rented tuxedos, all the money
that mommy and daddy spent to make
a perfect, once-in-a-lifetime moment,
but the truth is most of us will marry
more than once, and most of us
will divorce more than once, too.

I don't need you, I won't leave you
I can't imagine life without you.
I've never loved anyone as much as
I love you.
It was never this good with him.
I didn't know what love was until you.
We'll do this or that someday,
we'll run away and get married
and have a houseful of babies
and baby, I will never, ever leave you.
You're everything to me.
Lies. Lies. Lies.
