Why Did You Lie?

I only cry these tears because you lied.
I only cry these tears because I miss you.
I haven’t got over how you hurt me, but I need to.
I’m trying to forgive you, because I know you’ve changed.
I was there for good and bad times, but why did you hurt me?
Why did you lie? I loved you dearly.
I guess you didn’t care, I can’t go on and say I don’t miss you, but I really do.
I’ve been crying to long, where did the strong girl I known, where did she go?
She left when you did, and I want her back.
I only give you a hard time, because you broke my heart.
Now I have to see you with somebody new and it hurts, but I have to forget about 
you.
I wish I could erase you from my mind, but I can’t. 
Why did you lie?
