I used to love you
Like an American loves Paris
I used to love the allure
The romance of you
But now I am embarrassed
Because all you ever were was a false messenger
You told me straight , but I never believed
You loved not him but her
I used to love you
Perhaps I still do
Just like I love a mountain
I've seen while passing through
But now I don't want to walk up its paths
I don't wish to explore the view
I used to love you
But now I'm sure
it's not true
You did nothing wrong
That was my thing, I felt too strong
It wasn't you but me
I loved someone who was
already free
I thought I'd save you, but he
He has been a slave to you
And you to he
It's not that I see a golden cart come round the corner
With all the promises you made to him
Look like a pyramid, but taller
I think you lied to yourself
That's all and I came along for the order
You served me a dish of cold radishes
And expected nothing but a mourner
Well I can't be sad when your relationship has died
Because in my eyes it was all lies
no matter how hard you've tried
If you think I'll mop up the pieces
Or offer pity to those who have cried
I couldn't be the man in that city
So lonely that I could have died
You've used and abused his love
He's used up now and you've sucker punched
The blues out of him
While he's mourning his system
Of doubts, and about that he's listing
Just look at the way you have kissed him
The back of the neck
Like you're paying his cheque
You better bet that it was love you missed in him
I cannot love you, I'm disgusted by this betrayal
It's all just a home movie portrayal
Of love gone awry
But I'm an honest guy
I'll tell you, I can't stand to see this low railing
It's better to kill him than help him
If you love me, then there's no sense in the whelping
He's a beaten dog, let him lie with the hogs
I have no more pity than is self effacing
I love you still it seems, but it's physical
It's not what it means
I'd love to be close to you
To know and play host to you
But the most of you
Is the tail end of what's been
