I think its safe to say you broke my heart
You gave me hope
You gave me affection
Only to snatch it back
And leave me with tears
To match my shattered heart

You would say sweet words
I guess those were all lies
All the promises you never kept
Still run through my mind

I wonder what I did wrong
If I scared you away
Or if you just realized that you didn’t want to be with me

I think its safe to say you broke my heart
You gave me hope
You gave me affection
Only to snatch it back
And leave me with tears
To match my shattered heart
