Your passionate kiss,
Your heart-breaking lies.
The face I once loved
Is now the one I despise.
The sight of you walking
Sets me shaking because
Though my mind doesn't miss you,
My body still does.
I loathe being near you
Still I long for your touch.
I will always remember
How you hurt me so much,
So you can't trick me to thinking
That you maybe still care.
Because I know I'll be happier
When I'm sure you're not there
Your heart-breaking lies.
The face I once loved
Is now the one I despise.
The sight of you walking
Sets me shaking because
Though my mind doesn't miss you,
My body still does.
I loathe being near you
Still I long for your touch.
I will always remember
How you hurt me so much,
So you can't trick me to thinking
That you maybe still care.
Because I know I'll be happier
When I'm sure you're not there
