with your promise that we would never part
your lips pursed in scoff as you plunged the knife
I think I always knew you’d break my heart
my starting this affair was just not smart
you said you loved me — you seemed so sincere
but your integrity proved weak my dear
there was evidence that you might not stay
it was plain as day — couldn’t be more clear
but this lovesick fool simply looked away
