You told me once to take a chance,
And told me not to pass love by.
So take a chance I did for you,
and you left with one final sigh.
You told me once I was an angel,
Sent straight from heaven above.
And my heart felt free on light,
Taking flight on the wings of a dove.
You told me once you'd never leave,
But look what happened there.
To see her there without a care,
Makes it hard not to stop and stare.
You told me once I could be free,
to follow the path of the unknown.
And you'd be there to mark the way
so why am I left alone.
You told me once the world was my oyster,
and you were the fisherman for me.
But now all I see is your back turned away,
and the hurt I feel you cannot see.
You told me once you'd never stray,
As that was something you'd never do.
So who's that girl about your neck?
Behind my back, you were seeing too.
I told you that I never cared,
and I wish you'd told me soon,
But now as I cry myself to sleep,
And I pray for help beyond the moon.
