II could have liedAnd said that I'm alrightWhen you asked me how I wasEven though I triedI never could denyThat I never had enough

One thingThat you haveTo always know is trueHowever longEternity isIt won't be enoughFor me to stop loving you

You've lied to meAnd tried to steal my soulI can't try to beAnythingWhen I can't beHalf a manOr let aloneCome closeTo being wholeYou got me contemplatingMy whole lifeAnd constantly hatingAll that I mightOnce have learned to loveI'm so tired of waitingTo be somethingYou could be proud of

Anymore,Are you lonely?Are you quietSince only the silenceKnows what you meantWhen you said what you meantAnd meant what you said.And I don't have a clueWhere you went...But I dread that you won'tRemember meOr that maybe you will too soon.Do I care that way anymore?

You told me tonight That we really need to talk. I said go ahead. You said hardly anything at all. All you could say to me Is you can't make it work. All I could say was ok. I didn't want to cause you hurt. But I'm the one hurtin' here, The one that was left all alone. Maybe I could've believed in it more. Maybe I could've let my feelings show. Maybe you have someone else.

You did me inFrom the start,When you talked to me.You had my soul. You had my heart,But you wanted much more than me.

Love, love, loveI don't believe itIf you ask me againI could leave itIt's a lieThat someone once startedTo tell the innocentAnd the brokenheartedSo why even tryA four letter wordSo venomous, a curseOf all untruths, the worstOh why, oh why

One of the loneliest and darkest times of my life, demonstrating the emergence of the depths of the human soul, brought out in verse.

I know. I know. I know.You just had to goI'm not glad you wentBut with all those crazy nightsI'm so glad you cameWhen you wake upIn the dead of nightFeeling so emptyAnd full of frightRemember who still loved youAnd if you hadHe just might

You ain't everGonna break my heart.You already took my pride.You lied to meFrom the startAnd stole everythingI had inside.I just wanna die.

You had me back when I actually tried to care.I changed my life just to live your liesWhen all I was inside was just so scared.You’re the proof that you can’t reuseSomething used up and hardly there,Like every bit of you that I was so into.You told me I was the one and then the oneThat was so...

The greatest love I have ever known, with or without me, love's brightest ray ever shoneWe may be togetherNever againBut I will love youEvermore

Leave me as you met me...So lonely and scared.Please forget me...Very cold and gray.I can still see youAnd hear the words you tried to say.You called me by nameAnd faded away...But all I didWas come to watch you play...Come out to watch you play...Come back down and don't be afraid...It'll all be over in an instant...

It all falls downHeaven ain't just in the skyYour pot of goldMight not beWhere you were toldIt might be in my eyes
