The Words You Used

The words you used were far from true Looking back I wished I knew You pursued and gave the chase But in the end put me in my place You knew from the start just where you had me It was written on my face for all to see You said it first, I heard from you I waited until I said I love you too There was so much more so many a beautiful word They were the best work of fiction I have ever heard Everything you wanted all you had dreamed I guess it was never as important as it seemed Babies and houses, anything you could get You said you wanted all of me, every last bit Then came the accepted offer on your country place You said you didn't want to go as tears rolled down your face You said me not him is where you should be I'll find a way out, just watch and see Stay don't go, I begged and I pleaded I am in love with you, you are all that I needed Once more we made love in our stand of pine We embraced teary eyed as you promised you were mine To pass on true love you said you were a fool In the end you wanted and I was just your tool Which words were false and which were true Which words did you mean, I wish I knew So many beautiful things were said "What if" will haunt me until I am dead My words were true they were from the heart I loved you with all from the very start My life is in pieces, there is pain every day I watch on social media as in your new place you frolic and play If you meant what you said, then how true could they be Because you are there, and it's not with me
