When I Said I Loved You, I Swear I Lied

 

When I first met you,

I could never have known

That I would feel this way –

That I could now feel this alone.

 

When we first got together

And you held me so tight,

I could never have guessed

How lonely I’d be tonight.

 

And when you first kissed me,

Pressed your lips against mine,

I never realised

That I’d never again find a love so kind.

 

But when I said I loved you,

I swear I lied.

Love could never explain

This pain I feel inside.

 

I swear I lied.

What else could I do?

You no longer wanted me –

You said we were through.

 

I thought I could make you stay

With that one simple phrase.

Thought I could keep you with me

For a couple more days.

 

But I don’t feel

As I did a couple of days before –

I don’t love you.

No, I don’t love you anymore.
