Lies

You broke my heart in two
And took me like a bet.
With all you put me through,
I have so many regrets.
To lose you was worth it,
although I wasn't sure.
It seemed to make me happy
but still so insecure.
We always said forever
we would take it to the end,
never give it up,
but this time my heart couldn't mend.
It cut so deep into me.
I guess it hurt you too,
but when you did it, then you lied.
I had to say, "We're through."
I gave you all I had.
I tried to make it last,
but now all we have
are memories from the past.
So look me in the eye,
and tell me what you see.
A girl so broken inside
who's been through misery.
And now I'm moving on
with the pain that kills inside,
but I'm starting to forget
by reminding myself how you lied!
I have somebody new,
someone to treat me right,
to talk to lovingly
and to hold me all night.
He's there for me when I need him,
to give me love and support,
to hold me close and wipe away
all my signs of hurt.
To kiss me softly every night
and let me know he's there
to call me just because,
just to tell me that he cares.
Now here I go again
fallen so hard, so deep,
but this time it's different.
This is one I want to keep!
