I Would've

Everything you could ever hope for,
Burns right before your eyes,
Everything I wanted,
Were nothing but lies.

You said it was fake,
I bit my lip and closed my eyes,
And hoped for something more,
I would've cried,
But you were so beautiful.

I let your words run through my mind,
I ripped out my heart and placed it in your hands,
You threw it back.

I wanted to know you,
I wanted to know everything,
But you wouldn't answer my questions,
I would've dropped to the floor,
But you were so hopeless.

I let your words run through my mind,
I ripped out my heart and placed it in your hands,
You held it and walked away.
