I Lied, But At What Cost?

I lied, but at what cost?

I knew he loved men, I knew liked no women

But I lied, but at what cost? 

I was at his home all alone

He made me touch his phoney breasts

The breasts he called 'womanlike'

I tried to imagine a real one

Just to be aghast by a close someone

I lied, but at what cost?

I knew he loved men, I knew he liked no women

But I lied, but at what cost? 

Sitting on the wooden bench on a rainy day

He liked my friend, that I could say

"You think it's easy? Go touch his case."

He said pointing at an unaware stray 

I lied, but at what cost?

I knew he loved men, I knew he liked no women

But I lied, but at what cost? 

It became a joke when my friends found out

I couldn't help myself much, I was called gay

When my closest of close came to know of his way

Even the elder wisdom one started keeping me at bay.

I lied, but at what cost?

I knew he loved men, I knew he liked no women

But I lied, but at what cost? 

How was I to know of the day he came home?

He tried to show me something I didn't want to know

The bell rang, he stepped close, with clothes on

I opened the door, saw my friends, that caused a furore 

I lied, but at what cost?

I knew he loved men, I knew he liked no women

But I lied, but at what cost? 

Rights and liberties all are fine

No one cares what's happening behind closed doors

My friend fought his dad without being sublime

None of us was one of them, why did we have to go? 

I lied, but at what cost?

I knew he loved men, I knew he liked no women

But I lied, but at what cost? 

If they had to find out, it should have been from me

But they found out, out in the open, directly

I hadn't any clue of what was to be

But I lied, but at what cost? Trash out of my humility.
