You Lied

Why did you lie?

Why did you make me cry?

What have I ever done to you

To make you do what made me blue?

What have I ever said

That caused you to make me wish I were dead?

When have I ever said

That I wish you dead?

When did you ever think

I’d fall for that you -ink?

How did you manage to make

My heart feel flattened to a pancake?

How the hey did you get away

With all that we had say?

Who told you to do those things

That brought us to our knees?

Who told you this was okay

That we’d never stand up someday?

 

They lied, and so did you.
