Lie

I was kind of your sister all the time
We needed no words to communicate
You were kind of my brother all the time
We knew we would never separate
And when there were hard times we helped
Consulted and consoled each other
And even if we didn’t meet for a while
When we came together again
We understood at once what the other meant
And it’s a lie that I don’t need
Your company anymore
But I will not bleed
Even though it hurts
And I mustn’t weep
Or try to hold you back
It’s your decision
If you really want to go
Get away right now
If I could decide which heart to love
I swear it would be yours
This time you’re here to tell me
You’re in love — that’s nothing new
I could consult you like I always did before
But this time it’s something else
It hurts you to stay with me and I don’t want to lose you
Nor do I want you to love me because I don’t love you like that
And if it hurts you, you’re right to go
It hurts me too but, you don’t have to know
And it’s a lie that I don’t need
Your company anymore
But I will not bleed
Even though it hurts
And I mustn’t weep
Or try to hold you back
It’s your decision
If you really want to go
Get away right now
If I could decide which heart to love
I swear it would be yours
