You said you loved me

but he sleeps in your bed

you're going to leave him

that's what you had said

 

you want me badly

but you're holding his hand

you said I'm the best

but he's still your man

 

friends say I can't trust you

you've done this before

you string 'em along

you always want more

 

you kiss me, you use me

I say nothing, I'm numb

I'm starving for you

please throw me a crumb

 

you took me, you smiled

and then you were gone

some day you'll  return

but I can't wait that long?

 

moments of elation

many years of despair

my life was yours

I thought it was fair

 

stay with me or never

the hurt is too deep

the line's in the sand

only one side to keep

 

I can’t live with you

I can’t live without you

you're free to go or free to stay

having them both was always your way

 

choose one or the other

this is the last time

I know if you end it

the sun will not shine
