Talk Is Cheap

you came and made me love you, then you went away
i swore that i was through, but with you my heart would stay
you came again saying these beautiful things
as much as i want to believe you, the truth really stings
you swore to me that you were true
i gave you all of me, and yet i didn't get any of you
so now you say you really honestly want me
i will not be made a fool, why can't you see?
when i walk away from you, don't cry out, or start to weap
you didn't want me when you had me, you're talk is cheap
