Love Isn't Real

You said that you never wanted to make me cry,
You told me that a tear wouldn’t have to leave my eye.
You promised me a kingdom of gold.
Man, that crap is getting old.

You said that we would be together forever.
Yeah, that’ll happen, never.
So many tears have left my eyes.
So many things have left your lips; lies.

You said that you’d love me forever?
But forever isn’t real.
I spent an eternity waiting.
Hoping that you’d come back.
But it never happened.

You ran from me and towards someone new.
When I heard, I couldn’t believe you.
I tried to talk.
But I couldn’t make myself do it.
It wouldn’t happen.

I hated myself for letting you slip away.
Now, some other people are telling me what to say.
They talked to you.
And you ran from them.

Then you told me that you hated me.
And that’s when I knew we could never be.
I tried waiting until you apologized.
Apologized for creating a relationship built on lies.

You never said that you were sorry.
That’s one of the few things you never said.
I knew that it was true.
You weren’t sorry.
You didn’t care about me.
I ran from you.

Then I came back to you.
And I cried.
Then I wished I’d died.
Because you, stupidly, lied.
