You will not hear the truth unless you seek it.
(IS MY OUTFIT UGLY
DOES MY HAIR LOOK OKAY
AM I FAT...)
I ask for the truth and you give me lies.
(YES YOUR LOOK FABULOUS)
You call yourself my friend.
if so
LET'S GET REAL!

Tthe first parenthesis is questions asked, while the second set it is an answer (or lie) given by a friend. Who in reality should have told the person asking the truth the truth and not what they thought the other person wanted to hear. This is where the title comes from.

I'm not that much of a fan of this, it doesn't make sense and I don't understand why some things are in parenthesis. It just odesn't work for me!
