Lie To Myself

I’m fine, it was only once, he cares, they’re sorry,
Things will change, I believe you, people can’t see it, don’t worry.
They can’t understand, they don’t know, even if they do, she doesn’t care,
I’m strong, I’m happy, your hatred is fair.
I love you, I trust you, I believe everything you say,
I can handle this, it’s easy, he deserves it, he should pay.

I’m smart. It won’t happen again. I can handle myself without help.
I understand. It’s easy. Maybe I deserved that belt.
She’s wrong. I’m right. Nothing you say is true.
I’m funny. I’m pretty. I’m everything that’s not you.
I don’t love her. I miss him. I actually do not care.
I’m cared about. I’m loved. I’m more than just fair.
