I Believed You

When you said you love me I believed you Your words were music to my ears, soothing my pain and washing away my fears When you said you’d always be mine I believed you Your confidence was hard not to catch, helping me through life’s rough patch When you said you’d never leave I believed you Your eyes had that bright light, and I thought you’d keep your promise, you might When you said you…
