Lies I Believe

You've slain me.
I have died a thousand deaths
and I can't die anymore.
I cry myself to sleep for you
but you never even mourn.
I break my heart in two
and give you the larger half.
You say it's a crazy thing to do
and burn the pieces in a mine shaft.
In your mine shaft you find diamonds,
and I'm not even a sack of gold.
Even after you've been deceiving,
I wanted to believe every lie you've told.
