My trust my heart and my love I gave to you
But instead of treasuring those gifts, what did you do
You lied and lied and then lied some more
until no longer could I possibly trust you as before

I still long for your tender kisses and sweet gentle touch
But without your promise of honesty, they don't mean much
I refuse to ask more repeated "why's"
For I know that look of deception in your eyes

It's time for me to stand up and fight
For I am so tired of the tears I cry each and every night
No more will I hope for the return of days gone by
For they'll only be marred with each new lie

Though my heart begs me to give you just one more chance
Deep down I know I must hold my stance
For no longer do I wish to hear another lie
Nor live through yet one more painful goodbye
