With a hopeful soul and a yearning heart
I asked if you wanted me
With a thought or maybe none
You told me what I needed to hear
With a broken soul, and a lonely heart
I asked if you'd love me back
And with a smile not sewn with candor
You told me sweet lies
I have loved and I have yearned
For your love to be mine till death
I've been fooled and cajoled
As your love was like a fool's gold
But never, never would I ask of a thing from you
For with a cunning smile and an in-depth deception
You would only tell me what you think I need to hear
But, I would've preferred just one bitter truth
To a thousand lies that spoke about a dead love
