You Told Me

You told me you’d love me until the day you die

You told me you would never abuse me, spite me or lie

You told me I was your everything from the moment we met

You told me you would do anything to keep this relationship from a wreck

You told me you were sorry for spitting angry words

Told me you didn't mean it and your anger was cured

You told me you were impulsive with your heavy-born fists

You told me you couldint control the words dealt from your lips

You told me I was worthless, your words thick and hot

You told me you were sorry when I knew you were not

You told me all these truths that you always tried to bend

You told me your feelings hadn’t changed from the beginning to the end

You told me you were sorry but your mouth reversed those words

You told me you had sinned but your fists kept inflicting more hurt

You told me not to leave when I packed up my things

You told me you would find me no matter where I hid

You told me all these things that I had always thought were true

So when you told me you loved me...I turned and left you
