I don't think this is one of my better works, but i am open to any opinions/suggestions. It always helps me to become a better writer! Thanks!

Up is Down

Let?s start this conversation off right

I?m not hunting for another fight

Despite this angry glare

I can?t deny that I still care

I?d argue with my shadow

Over things that don?t really matter

But I can?t seem to bring myself

To take the important stuff off the shelf

And explain to you what I really mean

So the truth has yet to be seen

This is no liar?s tale

But I?m not always honest

I?ll tell you yes when I mean no

When I need you to stay

I?ll say go

My up is down

And your sky is my ground

Listen to what I have to say

But think of it another way

Cuz this is no liar?s tale

But you know I never tell the truth

I dial your number, sometimes just to say hi

But once I hear your voice I don?t wanna say goodbye

And I go on with meaningless chat

About alot of this and a little of that

It?s just my way of stalling time

Til I find the guts to say what?s on my mind

But I never do

And I?m so hard on you

Though, I swear, I never mean to be

Don?t forget all the times I?ve said

That you were every thought inside my head

I may neglect to mention

That I suffer from this tension

That being apart from you has caused

And I know sometimes I just need to pause

Take the time out to just remember

That you really deserve so much better

Than what I have become for you

This is no liar?s tale

But I?m not always honest

I?ll tell you yes when I mean no

When I need you to stay

I?ll say go

My up is down

And your sky is my ground

Listen to what I have to say

But think of it another way

Cuz this is no liar?s tale

But you know I never tell the truth

Everything I used to say

I?ll say it in a different way

Just to keep your eyes on me

So you can finally see

You are my everything

And I promise not to slip up

I promise not to trip up

I don?t wanna screw up

Anymore

And though this is no liar?s tale

I?m not always honest

And I?ll say yes when I mean no

When I need you to stay

I?ll say go

But you should know

I never tell the truth

So please don?t give up on me

Just don?t give up on me

This time
