All the whispered promises
Turned into shattered dreams
She lays and cries
And shouts and screams
I love you I love you I love you I do
It never turned out to be true
I love you I love you I love you I do
You'd think she'd learn after what she's been through
The shackles of lust
And the bindings of love
The pain of regret
She's not good enough
I love you I love you I love you I do
It never turned out to be true
I love you I love you I love you I do
You'd think she'd learn after what she's been through
The darkness in her soul
The shadows in her eyes
The wetness on the pillow
As she cries, cries, cries
I love you I love you I love you I do
It never turned out to be true
I love you I love you I love you I do
You'd think she'd learn after what she's been through
The pain in her centre
The loss she feels real
She wishes she could sleep
To escape having to feel
I love you I love you I love you I do
It never turned out to be true
I love you I love you I love you I do
You'd think she'd learn after what she's been through
Tears wander slowly
Unhindered and unchecked
Her spirit is flagging
Her hopes and dreams wrecked
I love you I love you I love you I do
It never turned out to be true
I love you I love you I love you I do
You'd think she'd learn after what she's been through
The flood of emotion
Swamps this young girl
She lies uncaring
Not belonging to the world
I love you I love you I love you I do
It never turned out to be true
I love you I love you I love you I do
You'd think she'd learn after what she's been through
Her eyes drift to close
Her breathing relaxed
No dreams disturb her
Her mind's overtaxed
I love you I love you I love you I do
It never turned out to be true
I love you I love you I love you I do
You'd think she'd learn after what she's been through
She wishes she knew
It would all end in tears
But she never gave up
To satisfy fears
I love you I love you I love you I do
It never turned out to be true
I love you I love you I love you I do
You'd think she'd learn after what she's been through
Hurt and demeaned now
She will not give in
She will live and grow stronger
Holding her pain within
I love you I love you I love you I do
It never turned out to be true
I love you I love you I love you I do
You'd think she'd learn after what she's been through
