lyrics

You stand at my door,
the one you’ve walked through a thousand times before,
but today you’ve come as a guest, not my lover.
The distance is killing me, you’re staring at the ground,
and I pray this can’t be happening.
Speak softly. Silence isn’t quiet.
You mumble your confession and tell me his name,
forcing me to deal with what you’ve done.
I’m blinded by love, denial, anger, hatred.
I have a million questions, but I have no tongue.
Through my tears, you become a blurry shadow of your former self.
I beg you not to leave. If I lose you, I’ll be lost.
You claim you still love me, but are no longer in love with me.
As you walk away, your apology echoes in my ear.
The word “sorry” means nothing. It provides no comfort.
In a matter of minutes, you’ve destroyed years of togetherness.
I’m sickened and torn, ripped apart by sadness and disgust.
To you I gave my soul, my life's ambition;
to me you gave solely your dispassionate attention.
I’ve been betrayed by a thief.
You stole my heart.
You used to say it was us against the world.
I guess the world won.
