You said you still loved me
But I didn't hear the lies
That lay deep in your skin
That were set deep in your eyes

I sensed truth in your words
But never knew it was a ploy
You played me, you shamed me
I was just another toy

I believe everything you said
You filled me with spite
Yet I still stayed with you
Knowing things weren't right

Did you ever truly love me?
Was I just another name?
Another pawn to move at will
In your despicable game?

These questions need answers
But I know you'll not talk
Why do you think I finally
Built the courage up to walk?

Now you're gone I see truth
I'm no longer stuck in that rut
Because I'm not chained by your lies
With my eyes wide shut
