Disappointment
You stole the joy you had afforded me
How incorrect I was about you, dear
I made the grave mistake of trust, you see
I thought you trusted me, but that’s unclear
I thought you differed from our other peers
My heart, which aches, you’ve been neglectful of
Today your immaturity has reared
Why did you lie and tell me you’re in love?
You feign things may be how they used to be
I want to trust in you, let go of fear
Because I’m still in love, you’re still my cutie
Despite the fact you haven’t been sincere
With you I can forsake my cold veneer
I never wronged you, gave you gifts of love
Ignoring me then coldly reappearing
Why did you lie and tell me you’re in love?
You’re taking me for granted, grievously
But I’d still take you back if you’d appear
I’m starting to conclude that I’ve gone crazy
I should move on and leave behind the drear
I can’t get past you, wishing you’d be near
I still desire to make things right, my dove
I want to know just how we got here
Why did you lie and tell me you’re in love?
You left me on a secluded frontier
Am I no longer who you’re dreaming of?
I must not mean much. You have shed no tears.
Why did you lie and tell me you’re in love?
