to make you happy, it's better to leave you alone

the more I try, the worst it gets
why trying in the first place, all are lies anyway

to make you happy, or to make myself happy
lying to you, or to myself

yes, you are right. selfish is a suitable word

make the right decision
I can keep on lying but I am not the one

don't know how far I can go
only to keep my promise
may go all the way, only not to hurt you

perhaps, if lying long enough, it will become true
