All those times we used the words,
Was it ever real for you?
Cause I meant it every time.

I should have seen it coming
That look in your eyes
Like you saw something that you wanted
Not someone you needed.

I know I knew deep down
Felt the truth behind your touch.
But I wanted to believe
In your tricksters smile
In your honeyed words

It was too late
The deal had been made
I was past love’s event horizon

And so each day
I give a piece of myself
To your indifference
Your hollow words

Does it keep you awake at all?
The way you crushed the fragile parts inside me?
What you were willing to take?

I’m so tired now
Of being broken
Of loving you
