Love Dies

I feel like the floor has dropped beneath me I try to go on, but my eyes can’t see Tears lie beneath the surface, threatening to spill It’s when I’m wounded that you go in for the kill Every lie you spread, every little remark Is just like another stab in my heart It’s not enough for you to see me die a little on the inside You have to see me broken down and tossed aside You go around wondering why nobody likes you But is it really such a mystery? They all see the real you They all know that if they anger you, you’ll go behind their backs You’ll spread rumors about them, and never state the facts All the lying and gossiping and backstabbing You don’t know how it feels, you’re not understanding You act like I’m a slave you can command When I try to fight back, I get a reprimand I used to be fooled by you, I thought you were nice But your heart is as cold as a sculpture made of ice I’m ashamed to say that I once loved you, I felt so sure But I couldn’t see past the man I thought you were When you loose love, only half of you remains alive I thought it was a love that could last forever, a love that could thrive I look into your eyes now, and all I see are lies But I guess that’s what happens when love dies
