When I told you that I needed you,
I didn't mean it, I was telling a lie.
How could I possibly need someone,
who would intentionally make me cry.
When I said that you were special,
again, I was not telling the truth.
How could you be so f*****g special,
you're self-centered and have no couth!
When I said that you were everything,
you guessed it…I was lying yet again.
I lied to myself as well as to you,
because I thought you were my friend.
When I asked you not to hurt me again,
inside, I knew all along that you would.
You don't think about anyone but you,
you hurt me because you knew you could.
When I told you I was in love with you,
I knew better than to give up my pride.
I knew that you couldn't handle my love,
so guess what…I can safely say that I lied.
