An Unfair Love Bargain

Because I have been let down Because I have been hurt Because I have walked empty streets in my town Because to me he’s been curt I’ve made up my mind to move on To save my face To switch off my phone His memories to efface Starting all over again Washing away the sorrow in which I drown Pining in vain A new romance to grace the crown I deserve in all fairness To hold back tears that from my eyes roll As I feed on a tasteless meal of sadness Wrong advice brought about my fall From grace in disgrace that hurts so bad Still I love him Although he drives me mad Because he’s been so mean To feed me on humble pie Wrecking my pride With a blue lie That flattery can no longer hide Making me wonder Why I should love again If all I reap is thunder In a rather unfair bargain That aches, bakes and shakes My belief That wakes Up when from my life bolts for good a love thief.
