You sold me a promise of love everlasting
I bought it all without ever asking
For a warrantee, a guarantee of faulty return
Whoever though that something like this would burn
The sole from your insides, the dreams from your heart?
That this was all fake from ending and start
You sold me the fairy tale, I swallowed it whole
The price that I paid was way more than gold
The best years of my life, my dreams, my desires
Got burnt in your lies and shadows for hire
After 12 years I still didn't know you at all
As I begged for something before, I stumble and fall
You talked a good game, but I learnt the signs
That gave you away oh so many times
Half-truths and omissions that fell from your lips
About where you were, those many trips
Yes, you sold me the package that was a glorious gift
The world never saw as your back turned and you left
from our bed, from our home, from caring at all
They saw the man that stood with valor so tall
You sold me a love that I've prayed for to God
I wrote Him a list, no way it could be flawed
No more loneliness no more rolling dice
You sold me my own heart and my future the price.
