Every Little Bit

"I love you" he said,
But his eyes betrayed him and told of his lies.
At that moment,
I leaned back and closed my eyes.

We were strong,
All the while falling apart,
It wasn't right,
It was just a start.

I held on a little tighter,
Stayed around a little longer,
Tried my hardest,
and we got a little stronger.

I knew you were into someone else,
So I told you I was over it,
Seeing you happy was worth the broken heart,
I'll always love you with every little bit.

"I love her" he said,
And I saw it in his eyes.
he was telling the truth this time,
no more reason for his eyes to tell his empty lies.
