Unwanted Compliments

To all those people who have ever regretted lieing. And yes, I mean everybody. My inspiration was just...private. Tom.

Unwanted Compliments

Swallowing my own pride,

Deciding to walk behind,

You, your friends and everyone else,

Is there anything of myself left?

Withheld truths I try to hide,

Memories of the times we lied,

Right now, right here, I feel alone,

Regretting you, and all I own,

I’m just sick of everybody smiling,

Sick of acting like that guy,

Who everybody seems to look for,

Unable to see through my lie,

And of his armour, lies sweet nothings,

And anything included dents,

But the cause of his destruction,

Is of unwanted compliments,

Realising my mistakes,

Though understand just how late,

And before action can be taken,

Another action is mistaken,

Once again it stays with me,

Creating who I am to be,

And I’m too scared to face to face,

With the enemy I choose to embrace and,

The things I do behind the curtains,

The things I say behind my lips,

The choices I refuse to take on,

When I there settled on my fingertips…

I’m just sick of everybody smiling,

Sick of acting like that guy,

Who everybody seems to look for,

Unable to see through my lie,

And of his armour, lies sweet nothings,

And anything included dents,

But the cause of his destruction,

Is of unwanted compliments,
