Nothing More Than a Lie

Nothing More Than a Lie

When we met, I was breaking,

Falling apart inside, And with time, over time,

It kept getting worse.

It grew darker and darker,

Tightening its grip,

Holding faster and faster

To the threads of my being.

You said you were here,

You'd help me chase it away.

You wouldn't fight it for me,

But you'd be there all the way.

Well, that's what you said,

But that's not what you did.

'Cause in the end you gave up on me,

Abandoned me just like them.

And here I was, thinking you loved me,

Thinking you cared despite everything,

Thinking you'd fight for me, thinking you'd believe,

Thinking you'd shield me, thinking you'd be here.

Turns out I was wrong all along;

Everything I thought

Was all just a lie, though a beautiful one.

It was nice to think you were here for me,

It was nice to think that someone cared.

But it was all a lie, just a lie

And nothing more than a lie.
