Did You Ever Really Care?

I thought you really cared,
I thought your feelings were true;
Now I'm just scared,
Because I have to get over you.

I let you in and opened up to you,
Let my defences down.
I shared my hurt and insecurities with you,
And now my smile has turned into a frown.

I would have given you everything,
Even laid down my life for you;
But I guess, to you, I didn't mean a thing,
And the words you spoke weren't true.

I have to wonder why you hurt me.
Did you ever really care?
How come you could never see?
When I needed you the most, you weren't there.

All I ever did was care about you;
Now there's nothing left for me to do.
Because I'm alone and feeling blue,
Since you ripped my heart in two.
