Worthless

You're not worth the tears
I've cried night after night
The fire that once burned inside me
You can no longer ignite

You aren't worth the dreams
I've led myself to believe 
I know now that all along
Your intention was to deceive

You're not worth the pain
That I feel deep inside
You never cared about us
Just about your stupid pride

You're not worth the effort
It took to say we're through
It's taken this long for me to see
You're not the man I knew
