You Said You'D Never Leave Me
My heart still aches from the day you left
I'd follow you to the ends of the earth
I tried to grasp onto fire
And cover up my burns
You told me I was beautiful
You said it was a lie
That I was so obsessed with attention
I was weaker when I cried
You told me I was charming
You said I tried too hard
That I was solely responsible
For every emotional scar
You said that I was perfect
Yet impossible to love
You always skipped the push
And resorted to the shove
You said you'd never leave me
You said that they would hate me
I cried myself to sleep at night
Until what happened lately
I met a man who loved me so
So much that he would die
A person with a heart of gold
Who never seems to lie
You told me I was stupid
You told me that he'd leave me
But I found love inside his arms
It wasn't really easy
I remembered every single word
I felt completely empty
But I found love in another's arms
You can no longer offend me
