Why do we say
The things we mean the least
Feelings are a barricade
And can't be true
The fear of being hurt 
Is too great.

I love you
Words are nothing
You said them
I believed them
They meant nothing
Where am I now?
Where are you?

You said you'd stay
I believed you
You made me
But why?
What did you gain?
Now I have to suffer
You have someone else
I have nothing!
