I feel as though,
it was a lie.
From the first hello,
to your final goodbye.

From that time you said,
you did love me.
And that moment in time,
we could not be.

After all the screaming,
all of the words.
Every drip of blood,
all of the hurt.

After all of this ****,
that you've put me through.
I can't believe baby,
I still love you.

But I feel as though,
it was never true.
Did you really love me?
Because I loved you.

With all of my heart,
and all that I had.
I gave you everything,
you never gave back.

I fought for what,
I believed was right.
But I was always alone,
at the end of the night.

I gave and gave,
but it was never enough.
My love rejected,
my life became tough.

I was fighting for someone,
who gave up too soon.
I shot for the stars,
he settled on the moon.

I wanted to go,
oh so much farther.
But he stayed put,
could not be bothered.

When I reached high,
he gave up.
I tried and tried,
but it was never enough.

Did it all really happen?
was it one big lie?
Why did you walk away?
and have to say goodbye?

Why did you give up?
on all that we had.
Why is it simple things,
that always make you mad?

Why did you give up?
why does it feel like a lie?
Why did you walk away?
why is it goodbye?
