I was going through some boxes today that brought back old memories
Reminding me of when I gave all, how much in you, in us, I believed
It cost me everything, set me back years
If only you had told the truth, there would have been no tears
Anger and sorrow are all that’s left of us
Life has surely gone on
But sometimes love is left in the ditch
I surely know you are gone
What could’ve been and will never be
It’s such a bitter end
You didn’t love me, you just needed me to help you out
While you dallied with your new and now permanent friend
So it is us I remember as I went through that box
What I did for you and your family ... and what I lost
And how much different my life would’ve been
Had I not been double-crossed
