You said you loved me.
You said nothing could ever come between us,
Our love was forever.
And I believed you.

You said I could trust you.
My secrets would forever be safe with you.
You were my confidant.
And I believed you.

But then I came over one night
And found you in my best friend’s arms.
You tried to explain,
Saying it wasn’t what it looked like.
But I didn’t believe you.

You came over a week later
Trying to find words to apologize
But I knew what needed to be said.
I knew it was over.

You said you were sorry
That you cheated on me with my best friend
And that you had broken my heart.
And I believed you.
