Saddened to learn
The best year of my life you made a joke of in a night
Leaving no reason to trust a relationship built on dust
While I worked for the dream I thought we’d both seen
You hid in the dark breaking my heart
You hide and you sneak, you lie and you cheat
Waiting to get caught for the end you have sought
As I found you had lied we knew it had died
Once again you’d betrayed the trust that I’d made
We’d agreed anymore lies and the relationship dies
When the truth I did find you just tossed me aside
No explanation was paid for the choice that you’d made
While I was hurt and enraged that you’d thrown us away
Not a moment you grieved for the heart you’d deceived
I was saddened to learn that your only concern
Your greatest fear was what others may hear
As we stand at the death while love takes it’s last breath
Then I knew it was true we’d meant nothing to you
The breaking of glass was the shattering of our past
Tearing away the illusion, feeling the pain and confusion
I scream and I shout as I throw it all out
For in choosing to deceive you were choosing to leave
You stood there with a smirk on your face not a care in this place
Laughing at me for having believed
In true lovers and soulmates, destiny and fates
Hoping they were true I’d believed in you
Only to find that I’d been blind
But you helped me to see it has always been empty
Nothing was there, nobody to care
All a charade, a fool I was made
Although it was masked I gave what you asked
In my bed you had slept for the lifestyle you’d kept
I hope that your choice gives you reason to rejoice
Now that you’re free from the monster of me
A year so beautiful and sweet turns out to be a year of deceit
The best year of my life you made a joke of in a night
Leaving no reason to trust a relationship built on dust
While I worked for the dream I thought we’d both seen
You hid in the dark breaking my heart
You hide and you sneak, you lie and you cheat
Waiting to get caught for the end you have sought
As I found you had lied we knew it had died
Once again you’d betrayed the trust that I’d made
We’d agreed anymore lies and the relationship dies
When the truth I did find you just tossed me aside
No explanation was paid for the choice that you’d made
While I was hurt and enraged that you’d thrown us away
Not a moment you grieved for the heart you’d deceived
I was saddened to learn that your only concern
Your greatest fear was what others may hear
As we stand at the death while love takes it’s last breath
Then I knew it was true we’d meant nothing to you
The breaking of glass was the shattering of our past
Tearing away the illusion, feeling the pain and confusion
I scream and I shout as I throw it all out
For in choosing to deceive you were choosing to leave
You stood there with a smirk on your face not a care in this place
Laughing at me for having believed
In true lovers and soulmates, destiny and fates
Hoping they were true I’d believed in you

Now that you’re free from the monster of me
A year so beautiful and sweet turns out to be a year of deceit
