Tried, failed, and lied.

I tried, okay?

I tried to feign smiles

To cover up the agony

To pretend that all those moments with you

Never meant anything to me

I failed, okay?

I failed to save myself

And now I’m here

Stuck in reverse

Stuck in the past

Stuck in a curse

Stuck in a ‘was’

I lied, okay?

I lied when I said I’m fine

That it didn’t even hurt

That it didn’t stab my heart

I tried,

I failed,

So I lied.
