Don't Lie To Me

Don't lie to me, Not to my face; To make yourself look better Your actions speak louder.

Don't lie to me, Or speak a half-truth; That you did what you did Softer than you really did it.

Don't lie to me, Deny that you did wrong; When others saw it And I have proof.

Don't lie to me, Changing the shadows Turning new light on the truth To make yourself shine.

Don't lie to me, Naming your pet peeves, Asking me to change To suit you.

Don't lie to me. This is not about you. It's about those we serve. So do your job.

And stop lying to everyone, even yourself.
