Their words scared me
And I felt as though I would burst
My thoughts were clear
Until they opened their mouths
My blurred mind is racing
I know what I want
But I can't disappoint them
Lying is wrong
But I'm tempted to do that
They say set my boundaries
But then tell me how to feel
And so I must content them
And I must content myself
I will let them have their will
I will obey their rules
But I can stretch the truth
Enough so that
It will not ruin anything
I will have my boundaries set
They're not much different
From what I'll tell them
But they are a little more
Because I am in control
I just simply sit behind a curtain
Of deceit
But I do it because
I love them
But I also love myself
