You start by telling me everyday
"I love you so much"
Then confess that though you speak the words
You don't believe in love.

You tell me love makes you ill
But that sounds more like you're sick of me
You hold my fragile heart together with I love you
And now it's falling apart all over again

I have always been one to fall in head first
But you knew that all along
I trusted you to cradle me while I let my heart heal
But I guess this isn't just your fault

You were not the only one to deceive me
I do not blame you
Or him
For I fell in love with both of you
But now I have lost you both

I should learn to protect my grieving heart
But it longs to be loved
Like an animal in a zoo, without another my heart aches, lonely, pacing inside it's cage
Loathing these cold nights alone

Like a house built without nails my life is falling to pieces
Collapsing in on itself
Broken

My light is fading because now no one is left to whisper me pretty things and tell me they love me

No one but the bottle

And now he's my only love
