What Are You Telling Me?

"What Are You Telling Me" —Kylie, 12

It's not my lifestyle telling lies

True or False
What's it gonna be?
You say it's true, but then it's false
What are you telling me?

I hate feeling like I'm in the rain
On a muddy and cloudy day
I want to feel open, enlightened, not crying
Playing on a sunny day

Love is like the sun rising
And flowers blooming in the spring

When I'm with you, the world is full of joy
Spinning at a steady speed

It's not my lifestyle telling lies
True or False
What's it gonna be?

You say it's true, but then it's false
What are you telling me?

When I'm not with you, the world is empty

It's a harsh hiss from a snake

When I think you'll be here and you're not

I want to scream and run away

You can't keep saying you'll come around

But then you never do

And you can't keep saying you'll try harder

If it really isn't true

It's not my lifestyle telling lies
True or False
What's it gonna be?
You say it's true, but then it's false
What are you telling me?
