You told me that you loved me
I took those words to be true
You promised to be by my side
As we traveled life’s way, me and you
You promised to make me happy
When I was feeling so sad
You promised to my comforts
When only worries and fears I had
You promised me many things
These I go over in my mind
As I sit here today in my emptiness
None of these things do I find
You have torn my heart apart
My world now seems so hollow
The wounds that you leave deep inside
I know only many scars will follow
I wonder what it could have been
To make this change in you
Today you are a stranger to me
Not the one I loved and knew
I want to take my world back
To the time you stepped on in
But I know those days are lost
Anew my life now must begin
I only have one thing to say to you
These words you can take as true
My heart you may have shattered
But my soul is stronger because of you
One day I will watch you leave
No pain will I feel as you go
But I only ask one thing of you
Why did you betray me so?
