Lyrics

You used to tell me that our love would last forever
You used to tell me that it wasn’t all in vain
You used to tell me that no one could come between us
So how could anyone have caused us so much pain

Why’d you have to tell me all those lies
How could we have come back all those times
Why’d you leave me for another man
You left me hurting with a handful of empty promises

You tell me that someday you’ll learn to love him
And that he makes you happy as a friend
You’ve threw out all we shared for the sake of money
You think he’s gonna give you everything

Why’d you have to tell me all those lies
How could we have come back all those times
Why’d you leave me for another man
You left me hurting with a handful of empty promises

If you have to learn to love him, it’s not real
True love only happens naturally
It hits you like an avalanche inside
I only wish that I could make you see

Why’d you have to tell me all those lies
How could we have come back all those times
Why’d you leave me for another man
You left me hurting with a handful of empty promises
Yeah, you left me hurting with a handful of empty promises
