A Lie

It would have been better

If your life were a lie.

It would have been better

If each day were a lie.

It would have been better

If your pain were a lie.

It would have been better

If the tears from your eyes were a lie.

It would have been better

If your reality were a lie.

It would have been better

If your smile were the truth.

It would have been better

If your city were of love.

It would have been better

If your family were of love.

Yes,

If everything were right,

I might have found peace somehow,

With no regrets in life,

With no pain in life.
