Lie, the words that mean love
Even while knowing, the words that trick me again
The words saying I’ll forget, the words saying I’ll send you away
The wicked words I can’t say
No, I hoped it wouldn’t be so
I hoped you wouldn’t be so
That you wouldn’t be such a common love
I prayed and prayed again
No, I hoped it wouldn’t be so
I hoped you’d be different
That you wouldn’t be such an easy love
I prayed and prayed again
I thought it would blaze forever
Our once-hot love, the rings we put on our fingers in matching
Swearing our love for each other, our spoken love’s promises
Are now being left all awry
Really, our remaining love, the person you are
Once everything in my life, the person you are
Never knowing my heart, never knowing my thoughts, the person who’s left me
Now a different person’s person
Lie, the words that mean love
Even while knowing, the words that trick me again
The words saying I’ll forget, the words saying I’ll send you away
The wicked words I can’t say
Lie, the words saying you’ll return
The words that I’m believing all alone
The words “I love you,” even if they’re a lie
The words I can’t hear anymore
Yes if you would throw me away like this
If you’re going to throw me away like this
From the beginning, those sad words proclaiming your love
I wouldn’t have listened to them
Oh! Yes, if you say you’re happy I’m okay
Your hand I was holding, I’ll now let it go
The lock that’s bound you here, I’ll release it for you
If it’s what you want, coolly, I’ll try to leave you
From the beginning you weren’t right for me
But my greed in loving you was just too much
As a punishment for the me that my greed created
I neither hurt nor hope
Lie, that this is goodbye
The words making me wait for you once again
That I’ll forget you, that I’ll send you away,
The ugly words I can’t say
Lie, the words saying you’ll return
The words that I’m believing all alone
The words “I love you,” even if they’re a lie
The words I can’t hear anymore
