Empty Promises

I remember when you said
All you ever wanted to do was be with me.
You kept telling me lie after lie.
People tried to warn me.

But I trusted you with all my heart,
So I didn't listen.
Now I see where my mistake was.
I should have paid attention.

If I had, maybe I wouldn't have gotten hurt.
Everything you promised me doesn't mean anything now.
They were just words;
Words that you were just throwing around.

You never told me the truth.
You only told me what you thought I wanted to hear.
I believed everything you said.
And it's left me with tears.

I should have known you were too good.
You were too perfect.
But I was naive and I didn't know any better.
I believed all your empty promises.
