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
