That One Word

I never understood the one word everyone wants to hear
I only knew the meaning, never wanted to know.
Words were words, as far as my simple mind knew.

But along came this boy, who claimed to know
what that word ment.
He though he knew how to show it.
Although he didn't know, that one word had no meaning at all.

He got me to trust, and made me soar with love
but as gravity pulled me back down to earth.

Behind his words were lies, false feelings
for this maden. For his love was for another,
in a far away town.

He thought one word with no meaning behind it
could fool this maden's mind, but the darkness
pushed past all the lies.

Turns out all of the words we have
this one hurts the most.
