Don't Even Try It

A Friend In Denial. I know them to well to know they are lying, but there's nothing I can do about it. Very frustrating.
I look at your eyes and I feel a lie
But a accept what you say while i let out a sigh
What a waste to throw away
I hope you realize it's not okay
A tear rolls down my face as i ask myself 'why'?
But no answer follows, so I just sit and cry
You lie and say "it's for the best"
I don't even bother to listen to the rest
What a performance, you rehearsed it well
You scripted it I know, I can tell
My heart pours with blood continuously now
Well done, now please take a bow
One way or another, you will accept my heart
Accepting it now could be a start
Whether you accept it with love and happy we are
Or if you walk away, and I lose my star...
I will beg you, on my knees, to take it anyway
If it's not reciprocated then 'take it still" is what i will say
Because without you in my life there is no point
I can't bare to live if our lives aren't joint
"So take my heart and let me die
It'll be easier than going through it again" is what I'll reply
Just take it with you and be on your way
But heart-broken by lies like this I can't stay
Take my heart and leave me to bleed
Any find someone else to plant your fake love seed
i wonder how long, it will be
Before you will start to suddenly see
You've left it all behind, you killed the one
You've left her to die, have you won?
But the sad thing for me to think to myself...
I think you'll keep your real feelings dusty hidden on a shelf
Because knowing you, you will deny forever more
You'll never admit it, I’m 90% sure
Just carry on lying to yourself and others
Lie and say you care, to any future lovers
But I know you to well to here this lie
But I know you'll continue like this until your life’s last nigh
