What you said was sweet, Yet I've heard it all before. How am I to know this time is different, How will i know you'll try more? I tried to understand you I did what I thought I should Yet that was hard to do I did what I could. You're not the only one to hurt, Nor the only one who'd cry I've never been through so much And you may never see why I dont know if I can, Though I want to believe what you said, There are a million different things Running thru my head. for instance, This all didn't happen in the last month It'd been going on since the start Every time you'd say something You tore out a little of my heart Each time the hole got bigger, The scraps fell to the floor You may not have meant it that way, But you made me feel like a whore I didnt think I'd done a damn thing wrong Still it felt that way I didnt know who to turn to, What to do or what to say. I just cried every time, Trying to make the pain go away. It didnt go away, it just grew That's why I had to say we were through It wasn't cuz I dont like you, That wasn't it all. My friends they tried to help me stay up But all I did was fall.
Reason for writing:
An ex thought I was cheating when all I cared for was him, he tried to make up for it, but I couldn't take his words seriously anymore.
