Bitter Sweet Deception

Salt and sugar look the same

Till you taste the hurt they bring

I let a sweet smile lead me in

Thought your hands were clean

You spoke soft and wore that gold

But truth was hiding in between

I learned the hard way in the dark

Not every kind face means a thing

Some hearts hold water for the fire Some words leave a bitter

sting

Now I read the weight behind a word I watch the eyes

before the grin

If it shines too clean in open light

There might be poison tucked within Be careful who you trust

Salt and sugar look the same One will heal and one will

cut Both can vanish in the rain

Be careful who you trust Pretty lies can wear your name I

was hungry for the sweet

Now I know they taste the same

Now I keep my circle small

Let silence test what talk can prove

If you're real you won't rush in

You let your steady actions move

I don't need a flood of praise I need a hand that

stays the night I can tell the difference now By who stands

still when time gets tight

I won't drink from every cup

I won't break to feed a game

I can bless the open heart And still walk away from blame

Be careful who you trust Salt and sugar look the same One

will heal and one will cut Both can vanish in the rain

Be careful who you trust Pretty lies can wear your name I

was hungry for the sweet Now I know they

taste the same

Salt and sugar look the same

I can tell by taste now
