[phrasemuffin]

I always played the part for you
It was always just an act
And now, once more,
You're the Selfish Whore
You always said you were

I never lied before the first
And it started out so white
I calmed you down
With the Lie of Lies
And then it all got worse

It festered and it grew
'til I even had myself believing
And though you never knew it, babe
All the things that I've said since
Were lies, damn lies, of guilt

Recent revelations explain nothing;
You are the Whore
And that explains all

If I was ever secretive, if I ever seemed untrue,
If I ever said something you didn't quite believe
You shouldn't have
'Cause chances are it was another lie
Of pity, or of guilt, or just to keep you in the web

That little lie that grew so big
Now worse than all the lies they thought I had been spinning
About my intentions, and what I really wanted
When I never wanted anything
Least of all you
