I Give Up

I don't want to lie...
But I don't want to tell the truth.
I don't want to just say, "Bye,"
And give them so-called "proof".

My friends cannot be trusted.
(At least that's what they say.)
And so my chops get busted
Defending them all day.

...But they think I always lie...
I never tell the truth.
...I'm ready to say good-bye...
Because it's just no use.
