Have you ever done something wrong that you regret doing and are ashamed of it?
You feel so guilty about and you just wanna come clean but when you see how proud of you and how happy this person is, you freeze and can't speak because you think how much this will affect this person and you just can't tell them because of of the pain it will cause to them and lying seems easier than telling the truth??
I stumble in, I wake you up
But when you look at me
I just can't speak
Came over here to tell the truth
But looking in your eyes
Baby sometimes, it's easier to lie
Both. When you were little, your parent's would tell you "If you tell the truth, you won't get in trouble" biggest lie parents can say to their little children.
In this situation, lying is horrible. If you cheat on someone that's bad enough, but lying to somebody you claim to love because it's "easier" is horrible and the other person doesn't deserve that.
In general lying should never be done unless it puts someone in a dangerous situation.
I hate lying. I just feel like there's no point to it. The more lies you tell, the more you have to remember in order to keep your story straight. Once someone figures out you're a liar, you can't really gain their trust back.
Trust is something that has a lot of value to me. If I can avoid it, I'll tell the truth but soften it a little (which I don't consider lying). I can't really think of an example but yeh, normally I'll just downplay the situation/truth if I know it might cause some issues.
