You never eased my heart,
Never hushed my sorrows or my tears,
You've watched me fall apart,
Helped embrace my fears.
Never did what you said you'd do,
You never chose to stay.
You said " I love you",
Day after lonely day.
And I loved you so much more.
For everything little thing you'd do.
Your words, your name, I would adore.
You said you'd never leave, and yes I still want you.
After all we've been through, promises and broken dreams.
After every hope, and every torn seam.
I thought maybe it still could last,
That a new love could grow,
But in your heart, I am the past.
For you I no longer glow.
The love you held for me,
I suppose it wasn't true. Maybe it was,
But not enough- no not enough for you.
And my dear I do need you,
But in your lost brown eyes, it's all through.
And the weakest always fall, and finally do get up.
But oh you took away, the hope from my lonely cup.
And I'll drown in all my laughter, and I'll drown in all my tears.
I'll find you once again someday, in a matter of years.
You'll look me in the eyes and say,
" Look at what you did,
You broke your heart, you fell apart,
You're still a broken kid."
And I'll wanna say everything, in my wanting heart,
I'll want to take away the pain, and shoot you with my dart,
I'll say, "But you- you never eased my heart,
Never hushed my sorrows or my tears,
You've watched me fall apart,
Helped embrace my fears.
Never did what you said you'd do,
You never chose to stay.
You said 'I love you',
You gave me everything I had, and then took it away, .
After everything we've had...
turns out nothing was true.
After every lovely lie you gave,
I can't believe I still love you."
