Swear

They all swear

You're great

They swear

You'll care

That you're empathetic

And that

You're compassionate

But I stopped believing

In compassion

A long time ago

I stopped believing

That someone could care 

About a worthless nothing

Like me

I stopped believing

That anyone

Would ever

Tell me

I'm not a mistake

And they tell me

That you will

But I don't believe them

I can't ask you

And you won't tell me

So what's the point

Why do they tell me

These stupid lies

Are they hoping

That one day

I'll find them true

Or will they be the reason

I die

Believing a lie
