Phony in disguise

You came out of nowhere and said “hi”

I didn’t know you thought I would say “bye”

I had to be nice

You seemed so sweet and nice

Looked so cool as ice

Made my heart melt

I think I fell in love with those eyes

Hyponitze I thought you would be mine

Until what a surprise

You had someone in your life

Kept me behind

I felt so stupid I replied

I cried that you lied

I wish I didn't do it that one time

When we met that last time

Thought it would be us in more time

But instead, you lied

Kept it inside

Your disguise

You call me in the middle of the night

Telling me she's not in your life

Saying you want me by your side

You know you should have to think twice

Telling all your lies

You're phony in disguise

Your baby mama can't deny

You are always a lie

How are you still alive?

Not wishing for you to die

You are living your lies inside in those veins

Flowing in the lines

Hiding it behind

Inside, Your phony disguise

Goodbye

Your loneliness is your life

Too bad you could have done better if you didn't lie

I would have stood by your side

If you weren't wearing your mask

You should have done the right task

And that's a fact

Instead, you started to act with your lack

Just a clown act with a white mask

You're just an ass

All in one Disguise
