LYRIC FOR SALE

By SMR

I was a cynic before I looked into your eyes
You made me feel things I deep down had longed for all my life
So I wanted to believe that your words were honest
But I should have known
I should’ve seen it coming
You were never on my side
Your words were nothing but appealing lies
That appeased the loneliness I’d feel inside
It took me far too long but now I have come to realize

Your love for me hasn’t died
Because it had never been alive
It had been nothing but a sweet, cruel lie

I should have known from the start loving you would break my heart
But I was too blinded by this enticing lie I didn’t even notice the knife in my back up until it pierced my heart
Destroying all we had
Leaving nothing behind but your every word and action as lies cemented in my mind
You have defiled the very memory of us together
It was supposed to be mine forever even if we didn’t last
But I have come to regret even the good times we had
As now all memories of you just hurt me and make me sad
So I just wish them gone
I wish they'd vanish and leave me all alone
Just like you did, not too long ago
Without a word and without remorse
But that's their blessing and their curse
Memories never leave like a person does

True love never dies
Because it's never been alive
It's nothing but a sweet, cruel lie

For so damn long
foolish of me, willingly
I gave you all my love
Just to be taken for granted
Used, abused and abandoned
Now I don’t know where to go nor what to do
As your betrayal has left me with nothing real to hold on to
What a waste of time
But at least now I know

True love never dies
Because it's never been alive
It's nothing but a sweet, cruel lie

At last I am back to the start
Before I looked into your eyes and still had my cynical mind which I’ll never again leave behind
As this is the price I’ve had to pay for letting you into my life and believing your beautiful lies
I went against my better judgement
I should’ve stayed cynical
Not formed attachments
Stayed away from tempting distractions
Suspicious of everyone’s actions
It sure would have saved me some time
And kept me from dying inside
But at least now I am wiser and know the reason why:

True love never dies
Because it's never been alive
It's nothing but a sweet cruel lie
A mistake I won’t make twice

But probably a hundred more times
Because I know when I’ll meet somebody nice with beautiful eyes
My cynical mind will leave me behind and I’ll think:
"Maybe just another try"
"Maybe it will work out this time"
Anything to not be lonely in this life
