the first time you told a lie 

I held no hate, I was just eight

was here until you left me to die. 

I was a little too blind to cry 

trotted so you don't have to wait 

the first time you told a lie. 

this route was not mine to ply

but you drove me to Doom’s gate 

was here until you left me to die.

I was the rope you shouldn't untie 

this is a mistake that is too late 

the first time you told a lie. 

those lies never bid me bye 

I carry a masquerade as my fate 

was here until you left me to die. 

you squeezed a part of me dry 

was blank till you dyed my slate.

the first time you told a lie, 

was here until you left me to die.
