The Taste of Goodbye

I've often wondered if words have taste

Words like I'm sorry and goodbye

Can you taste the words you say to me

Each time that you tell me a lie?

Your face distorts with three little words

I love you means nothing to me

You never smile whenever they're spoken

The way it's supposed to be

I can tell you I love you everyday

You answer with only, "Me too"

The words are meant to come from your heart

But I can tell it's something you chew

You give me a kiss but I can taste your shame

You can't even look in my eyes

The taste of goodbye sit's on your lips

A taste that your heart denies
