Untrue

Chains of death
captivate my soul
with each dying breath
i pay life's toll

the misery and pain
i have to go through
and what do i gain?
Not being with you

when i told you i loved you
i didn't mean a thing
i thought my love was true
but it held on by a string

nothing was there
when i was with you
the love was bare
the end was always in view

you used to make me happy
when we'd talk all night
now i feel crappy
when all we do is fight

i think we need to end this now
before we get to far
I'll find a way to tell you somehow
before i leave an unceasing scar

I've been leading you on
for too many years
long ago the love was gone
but i don't want you to shed tears

i think you still love me
i can't tell for sure
so I'll wonder and plea
am i still your cure?

Tell me before long
so i can be done
please try to be strong
or I'll pick up my gun
