A lot of times, I've had experiences where the truth hurts once you hear it. When that happens, your whole world falls apart and then your knees go weak as you struggle to stay on your feet. Even when you get over the awful shock, you either feel hollow or numb from the massive pain that fate has dealt you. At times like this, a sweet lie is often better than the truth. That's what I feel when I hear the song "Tell Me Lies" by Fleetwood Mac.
This is one of those songs that helps soothe the hurt that the truth gives when your world comes crashing down. I guess the part about telling sweet lies is thinking of you wanted things to be or what could have been. Although it's an illusion, it gives you comfort nevertheless, especially when the truth is too cruel to bear. You can say it's like getting injected with morphine after a really bad injury whose agony is unbearable. I guess lies aren't that bad at certain times.
Eventually you accept the truth because a sweet lie can only get you so far. In the long run, the sweet lie will be like a drug that one will use when the going gets tough and eventually be that person's downfall. What could'ves are great, but we got to build with what is because that's all there is. We're entitled to a little time out when things hurt but in the end, we should get over it and move on. Oh well, atleast the lie was sweet even for a moment.
