You tell me you love me, with each word so sweet
But I can feel the distance, between you and me
You say you love me, with a smile on your face
But your actions, they never seem to embrace
You keep me close, yet so far away
With your empty promises, you lead me astray
You say you love me, with every kiss
But I can't help but feel, something's amiss
You never ask about my day, or how I'm feeling
You're too caught up in yourself, too busy dealing
With your own problems, your own life
Leaving me to wonder, am I just your strife?
You say you love me, but you don't love me
You don't take the time, to truly see
The person I am, the one you claim to adore
But I'm just another piece, in your game of war
I gave you my heart, but you didn't cherish
You played with it, until it was bound to perish
You say you love me, but you never try
To understand me, to hear my cry
I thought you were my everything, my knight in shining armor
But now I see, you were just a charmer
Saying all the right things, to keep me by your side
But in reality, your love for me died
You say you love me, but you don't love me
You don't even know me, how can that be?
I was fooled by your words, your fake display
But now I'm left with a heart, that's in disarray
I wish I could turn back time, and see the truth
But now I know, you were never my proof
Of real love, of something pure and true
You say you love me, but I know it's not true.
