Addicted To Your Lies

Breaking the habit of listening to lies.

You feed me your lies

And like a child I believe

Every word

It's a drug,

An addiction,

A habit I can't break

Being addicted to your lies

Isn't helping my health

Just making me sick inside,

It makes me think things will change

Even though I know they won't 

I'm addicted to your lies

I'm so sad it makes me cry

I'm checking into rehab 

So I can learn to handle the truth

And take control of this addiction

That's destroying my life

I love the allusion to lies being addicting and needing to check into rehab. We believe what we want to believe despite reality. Reminds me of Kelly Clarkson's song "Addicted." No matter how bad someone is for us...we keep coming back for more. The key is to find out what is the lure....

Love will fool most people into the need to believe, but we all wake up to the lies...good poem
