Hiding My Lies

I will hide under covers
And lie to my lovers
About the sins that stain my sheets
As dirty, vicious, empty wishes
Lead me back into the streets

I could cry and pray
As I try to stay
But fate will not be beat
And I could turn my back
And avoid the cracks
But temptation is such a treat

I have tried to share
All the pain I bear
But I scar my flesh despite
So I have closed my eyes
To hide my lies
And spare you from my plight

I will beg and plea 
For you to let me be
But I need you to survive
It's time at last
That I forget my past
And try to feel alive.
