You said
“I’ll always love you”
You said
“You can have my last name”
You said
“Come as close as you can get”
You said
“Playing with you is my favorite game”

And I remember
All the little things
I remember
The songs you used to make me sing
And it hurts me
Crushes me
I stop breathing
My heart stops beating

And then I scream

LIAR!
You lied to me
You said what you said
Would always be true
But its not
We’re not us anymore
And it hurts me
It hurts me that you lied

I was a naïve little girl
When you said you’d
Show me the rest of the world
I didn’t know
What to think or to say

But you kissed
All of my fears away
And said we’d always be us

LIAR
We’re not together
Nothing is right now
It’s all wrong, all wrong
And I revel in my pain
Because I know it hurts you too
And as awful as that should make me feel

I never lied to you.

Three Dog Night was in the back of my mind as I read this, pen&paper. That's not a bad thing.
