you said you loved me 
you said you cared
you said you'd be there for me
but you're never there

i stayed with you regardless 
because i truly loved you 
the way you tore through me was reckless
but i couldn't stop loving you 

and still i decided to stay 
though my friends called me dumb
but little did they know you took the pain away
you made me feel numb

and i clung to that feeling
cause that feeling i craved
and your way of dealing 
weirdly left me unfazed

you thought you were above 
in all senses
i knew you were above her
because you were senseless. 

but maybe it was me that was senseless
cause i knew you were cheating
in more than two senses

but i am the one who took all the blame
and you were the one
who strapped my heart to a hand grenade.
