What You Said

 

Remember when we started this

And you said you wanted more?

I believed every word,

Right in my heart’s core.

 

You continued to say

That all you wanted was me.

That I was what all the others

Could never ever be.

 

I was ‘all you ever wanted in a woman’,

Or so you always said.

You liked the way

I let you be in charge in bed.

 

But yet I never got to see you –

There was always some excuse.

I started to feel betrayed,

Like I was being used.

 

Then came the day you said

You wanted to settle down with me.

I nearly fell off my chair –

It was just so hard to believe.

 

But still I fell for it,

Believing all your lies.

I guess I’m the one to blame

For the tears falling from my eyes.

 

I really wish I could get

You and your voice out of my head.

How I was I supposed to know

That you never meant what you said?

 

You know how much

Words mean to me,

Yet you played with my emotions

And led me to believe.

 

But it was what you said!

It had to be true.

All I wanted was to believe

That I was good enough for you!
