i didn't say i loved you
because i didn't mean it

and i didn't say i cared
because it was true

i didn't say i would hurt you
because i know i never will

i didn't say i would lie
just to make you happy

i didn't say not to love
because i know you will

i didn't say not to care
because i know you do

i didny say to hurt me
because i didn't think you would

i didn't say not to lie
because i never dreamed you would

I said i love you
because i really

I said i care about you
because i truly do

i said i wouldn't lie
because you know im not like that

i said i wouldn't hurt you
because i knew i never could

love.....

care.....

hurt.....

lie.....

all such simple words
that can bring so many tears
