Cry Me a River

You said you'd love me forever.
So why am I standing here
On the sidewalk in front of your empty house
With the rain beating on me
And blending in with my tears?
Because you lied.
Because everything we had together,
All the memories I saved
Were a lie.
So when you finally run back to me,
With a pleading look in your eyes,
Begging me to take you back,
You know what I'm gonna say?
Cry me a river.
And then I'm gonna walk away.
From you.
From us.
From the memories.
