One Way

For you I was always there,
I never left your side.
But the second I need you,
You seem to just hide.

Were you pretending to care?
Just passing me by?
Did you mean what you said?
Or was it all just a lie?

I cared more than i should've,
Devoted too much trust to you.
Why couldn't I see it?
It was too good to be true.

If you're thinking about talking to me,
You really mustn't.
I hate you for making me feel important,
When obviously I wasn't...
