When you said you loved me, did you really love me or did the words just

spill out like drool on my pillow. ‘Cause I was naked when you said those

 words, but I felt covered in your whispered worship.

 And as you passed out fast on my shoulder, I imagined a child waiting so sad

 and still for his mom to arrive.

Did she leave you an orphan, in that big, brown leather chair?

Said, “ Don’t you move a muscle, kid, I’ll be back in twenty years,”

You were scared, you were lonely, but you must’ve been aware;

life is a series of calluses, this is just another layer.

So, build’em up, tough it out, yeah, that’s your skin – don’t let anyone

under there.

................................

When I said I loved you, it was because I loved you. When I said I needed

 you, well, I really need you. Yeah, I guess you hurt me, for once you’re a

man of your words. Well, guess what – I’m leaving – I can’t be your prisoner.

 I can't be your prisoner-I won’t, I can't be your prisoner-I won't
