You see what you did?
You got my hopes up.
Excuse me if I meant it,
When I said I loved you.

You see what you did?
You gave me a false dream.
Excuse me if I meant it,
When I said forever.

You see what you did?
You broke me down.
Excuse me if I meant it,
When I said I cared for you.

You see what you did?
You ruined love.
Excuse me if I mean it,
When I say all hope’s been lost.

You see what you did?
You broke my heart.
Excuse me if I mean it,
When I say you’re no longer welcome here.

I'm going through a bad time with a guy...this was my way of venting. Hope it can help someone else out there find the courage they need to say goodbye...
