He's got a grip on Darling's heart
Breaking it in two
Yet holding it together
Making her feel like this love was true

His actions were selfish
Breaking the already cracked girl
Taking her trust into his arms
Making her feel like an angel

He led her on
Thinking he actually cared for her
But the in the end
It was only himself he wanted her for

Selfish, inconsiderate bastard
That's what he was
Slowly pushing away the girl
He thought he loved

She stayed up at nights
Wondering what she had done wrong
Was she not good enough?
This had seemed like a broken love song.

As he laid
Staring up at his ceiling
He was hoping she was moving on
Because hell knows the guilt he was feeling

When he stared
She was gone
Demons taking over her mind
As she sat, not understanding what was going on

He cried one night
Frustrating tears slipped down his face
He had broken the girl he loved
And he knew he would never again feel her embrace

Everyone noticed her saddened eyes
How she carried her self with a slump
Her hands fiddled nervously
With everything in touch

He had broken the girl
She had broken herself
They both sat in a pool of self pity
Not remembering how happiness felt

Every night Darling thought of their kiss
Soft touches he left
The darkness that had surrounded them
Oh god, he made her such a mess

She felt broken
Used
Ruined
Abused

Tears
Sobs
Pills
It all built up from the lies.

She didn't move on
No matter how much she tried
Whereas he forgot her
All his love died

Now Darling lays
Swimming in tears
Drowning in lies
And all her fears

Every useless insecurity spread around her mind
Taking over her body
It's all his fault
He did this to poor Darling

"I swear," she laughed
"I'm fine."
No one really knew
That was a lie

His warm hands
Grazed her skin
That touch felt evil
It burned like a sin

Everything seemed to hurt Darling
Every touch he had left behind
Every sweet kiss that was pressed against her lips
Everything was left, burnt into her mind

He screwed up
Screwed up her head
As he stayed unharmed
Moving on with his life, family, and friends

Darling lay on her bed
Her best friend texting her to see if she was alright
Darling didn't answer
Because, really, she was fine.

Oh, Darling, that was a lie.
