Did you think through lying to me?
That I would never find out?
That I would never guess
Or have my doubts?
Did you ever stop to think what would happen?
That a girl like me wouldn't wonder?
That a girl like me wouldn't guess
Or be smart enough to figure it out?
Did you ever think it over?
That what you're doing is hurting yourself?
That it's effecting me less than you think
Or that I'm upset about you lying
Rather than actually being hurt?
Did you ever think that in ending it with me,
It would end everything entirely?
Don't expect me to understand.
Don't expect me to bring you in again.
Don't expect for me to forgive you.
Because after everything you've done-
All the empty words and lies,
Why would I ever give you another try?
~a.k.
