Here we are standing here,
Another promise you’ve broken.
To me you were endeared,
But to you, I was your token.
A token in your game,
Of lying and deception.
Is it me who I blame,
Or do I blame misconception?
Misconception of you
And the thought of us,
Hoping that we’d get through
All of the fights and excess fuss.
To love is to give all,
While hate comes not with sacrifice.
