You said, I, I wanna know you by heart
I said go right from the start
Tell me all the gory details
Then I'll know if plan A should fail
To take you away from it all
And show you how tall you could be
And hope it was fun while it lasted
But now you've gotten past it
All the lies you recited
And my love, unrequited
At least you could've waited
Till our lust started fading
But your trust isn't all that it seems
You said, I wanna know you by heart
I said, it's you and me baby
Now let's never be apart
But that story you sold
Really showed me how cold you could be
And hope it was fun
While it lasted
But now you've gotten past it
All the lies you recited
And my love, unrequited
Did I give in too easy?
Should I've said please don't leave me?
But I'm just not that needy
And your eyes, they didn't mean it anymore
So please don't try
To tell me why
And please don't cry
And tell me you love me
I don't believe a word
Not a phrase or verse
Or loaded lie
Believe me I'm trying
And I don't regret it
But I'm trying to forget it
Just know I really meant it, unlike you
Your pathetic excuse
Yes it were the routine
Baby it's not you it's me
So that's me from the start (ah art)
So do you know me by heart?
While it lasted
But now you've gotten past it
All the lies you recited
And my love, unrequited
So please don't try
To tell me why
And please don't cry
And tell me you love me
