Here I sat listening to you deceive me
Letting each word sink into my heart
It softened it
I won't lie about that
But it also turned it dark and empty

I listened to your lies
And I listened to your excuses
But I knew it wouldn't do anything for me
Only make me feel more sorry for you

I let you get close
Too close that day
It was too soon to forgive you
But I felt bad that you were hurting
So I ignored the hurt I felt within
