I See You Talking

I see you talking,
But I can't hear what you say,
Your lips are moving,
Get out of my way.

I had faith in you,
But oh, how your lies flied!
This is nothing new,
God knows I tried.

Save your breath,
It's not about material things,
It was about our love,
And our golden rings.

I see you talking,
But I won't hear what you say,
It is too late,
I can't live this way.
