I Needed You,But Where Were You

I wanted your love, Needed your love, But you couldn't pull through, Of all the promises you made, And I just wonder if the love you say that you had, Was true from the beginning. And yes, I loved you, I wanted what was best, But the walls built around your heart Wouldn't allow you to see it, And I tried to make it clear, If it had been any clearer The sight would have blinded you. I wanted to be able to lie in your chest And cry if I needed to But you weren't there And you couldn't see how I was hurting, You couldn't tell that I didn't feel the love, That you so claimed to have. But I realize now, That there's someone out there who's better.
