I’d like to tell you

That when I said I love you

Respect you

Would always be here for you

That I didn’t mean it

Silly though I may be

I’m no liar

So when I said I love you

I respect you

I would always be here for you

I meant it

Meant

Past tense

I always assumed you loved me

Respected me

Would always be here for me

I was wrong

I’ve been it before

I’ll be it again

But it’s not up to you

To tell me when

Do you remember all those pretty letters I wrote you?

Let’s play Simon Says

Simon says

Rip them up

Burn them

Throw them to the wind

Keeping lies is a sin

And that’s all they are now

Lies

I meant them then

I meant them for months after

But they mean nothing to me now

Just like you.

Foolish words and a foolish boy

Make such a nice pair

Sitting alone

Without me there
