Why do you lie
and expect me to trust again
When I found out the truth I knew
Had never really been.

Why do you lie
and expect me to forgive
When my world was upended
and I was afraid to even live.

Why do you lie
and still ask for my love
When thats all I ever gave you
Yet you reigned down on me from above.

Your love is worthless to me
Mine, destroyed by every breath
You used against my every thought
Until my only thought was death.

Yours or mine, it didn't matter which
As long as the fear you nurtured inside my mind
a frightening world by your design, was quieted
Till nothing remains of the love you maligned.
