how is it that i put all my trust in you
and in every word you said
had me believing it and feeling it
and never thinking for a second you could be lying instead
you told me she was just a friend
and that i was your only one
how could i believe you
when you said i was your only fun
i should've known from the very start
how bad you were for me
i should've kept our lives apart
and never thought twice
but that smile tricked me
i thought it was beautiful
but now i know
that it was the most cruel
you smiled in my face
and told me your pretty lies
promised me i was the only one you'd ever chase
lies.
but i dont care
i dont care that she was my best friend
i dont care that you both lied
i only care about what i said
i said "i love you"
and you said it back
and none of it was true
i said "i trust you"
and you smiled
knowing you could now get away with all of it
you're such a fucking child
why throw away someone who loves you
for casual flings
why choose a body
when you could've had rings
did you not like how my skin felt beneath your fingertips?
no. you did.
that was the only time you loved me
and all other affection you forbid
you never loved me
you loved my skin
and how it felt
how amazing it felt to sin
but i let you
because i loved you
but you grew bored
as you knew you would
and even though my soul to you was already sold
you stepped away
and you didn't do it gently
no
you took my best friend with you
and claimed you still loved me so
no.
those lies are broken now
and you can no longer hurt me
so long to our precious vows
