I let you go so slowly,
And tears fell from my eyes.
I know I must have hurt you,
And took you by surprise.
But you also hurt me.
 

When I knew your love was a lie.
How could you do this to me,
Let me sit here and cry.
I found out you had never cared,
And that brought me enough pain.
 

To make me try to forget your face,
Your hugs, your kisses, your name.
Your words had once captured me,
And wouldn’t let me go.
 

But you never cared at all,
You thought I’d never know.
And after all you did to me,
I still cried it through.
Because it was too painful to see.
 

There was no more me and you.
The words that you once spoke of,
The pictures that made me smile.
The way I gave you my heart,
And made our time worthwhile.
 

Are now all gone past by us,
And we are only just good friends.
You treated me like I never deserved,
So our love met it’s end.
But I have hope inside my heart,
That maybe for just one day.
 

You did care a little for me,
And cried when I walked away.
I can’t except the truth I guess,
Because my whole life’s been a lie,
I wonder if you ever loved me,
When I left, did you cry?
 
 

The way you said you did,
When we talked on the phone.
And asked me for another chance,
So you won’t be alone.
Or did you just smile it off,
And went to look around,
 

And see who else might want you,
Who’s the new love you found?
I didn’t deserve the tears I cried,
But I cried them for me and you.
Because even if you were unfair,
 

For  months you pulled me through.
And now I just wonder,
Through all of this pain and lie.
When I left you did you hurt,
When I left you did you cry?
