Is it hard to make arrangements with your-self,

but young enough to sell?

Tell me lies later, come and see me
I'll be around for a while.
I am lonely but you can free me
All in the way that you smile
Tell me why
Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself,
When your old enough to repay 
but young enough to sell?
