Break my heart and watch me cry
Walk away and tell me a crazy lie
You say you never cared at all
While you calmly watched me fall

I want to believe what we had was real
That you didn't just do it to throw me off keel
I hoped like I've never hoped before
That it wouldn't leave me feeling broken and raw

That I could believe in good men again
While cynicism got me thinking it's all a sham.
Got me questioning my intuition
Can't help but regard it all with suspicion

I'm getting mixed messages from inside
Reading you got me in knots tightly tied
One half believes you to be who I saw
A man to be proud of, one I'd give all for

Then there's the side that wants to give in
Give in to the hurt and grief, let the pain win
Write you off as a fraud and a fake
An awful good manipulator who I didn't make

And I can't make up my damn mind
Why did I give in, let myself find
That I was missing out on the best
When you're determined to make it out as mere jest
