Emotionally hurt feelings
If you saw me cry
Would you feel guilty?
Would shame and pity
Reside within you?
Or would you just shrug me off?
Walk away?
Ignore me?
Pretend as if I never existed?
That's what you've seem to have done

You made me smile in a way I never smiled before
You made me laugh, that meant something
I felt so sure everything would bloom
Like the flowers in the spring
The flowers that last
However, my flower died soon
On the first spring morning frost
You froze my heart
Then smashed it into pieces
With no words at all

You didn't need words
I saw right through you
Wow, I had misconceptions
that I believed could never exist in you
You were so warm, so sweet
I thought you cared, I believed you to be real
That's how you seemed...
So fake, so shallow...
The real you
I pity you dear

Maybe someday
I'll forgive you
I doubt it though
If I ever let go
It's hard to not think about
When I see you
every now and then
I thought about the lies
The way you hurt me
The way you used me
All at once
I may forgive
But I'll never forget

If you saw me cry
I'd hope you feel hurt
The way I did thanks to you
