You lied

An ex once told me that he lied to protect me
It's not the lie
It's the betrayal that hurts most
If you'd have just told me
I would have politely gotten your coat
"You can't turn a whore into a housewife,"
And, "You can't make a man be a man."
You had all the right cards and you still managed to lose this winning hand
The truth of the matter is you wanted two different lives at the very same time
Be a man and admit it
You knew that if I'd found out that I would have left you at the drop of a dime

I knew that this would happen
That you would break my heart
It was stupid of me not to listen
I was stupid from the start
You told me you were different;
Now I know you are all the same
I'm in a lot of pain
It's hard for me to hate you
It's hard for me not to care
Because always in my mind he is going to be there
I want to forget it; I'm going insane
Am I listening to my heart or thinking with my brain?
I wish I knew why you did it
What you were thinking at the time
But then I know I don't want to know
Anything more would drive me insane
I love you but I wish I was strong
You don't deserve me now
Hopefully, you can prove me wrong
I'll always love you, but you have really broken my heart
I hope you know how to fix it because believe me I can't

You knew that if I'd found out that I would have left you at the drop of a dime

I can't believe it's true that you're not in my life
All these years you were saying that I will be your wife
Now I sit here in the dark
Nothing but a broken heart
I trusted you like I have trusted no other
I thought our love was going to last forever
All my problems I hide it in my heart
If only I could forget about all my past
I gave up everything just to be with you
You don't even know what I was going through
How could you forget me so fast?
And forget the love we had in the past
After we made plans to spend our lives together
I thought what we had was meant to be forever
How can you ask me if I'm still in love with you again?
Can't you see that all you gave me was pain?
Why do you keep calling me on the phone?
I told you that I don't want you anymore
Boy whatever you do, it will all come back to you
When I thought we could make it
You had to go and break it
