When You Said

When you Said

When you said you loved me

Didn’t you mean her?

I can hear it in your voice

When she calls your phone

Your giggle, your laugh

Your oh so Soul fabulous tone

Didn’t you mean her?

When you said let’s give it a try

Now I’m here our love is a lie

When you said you loved me

Didn’t you mean her?

No more Good mornings, I love you

How was your day?

Committed and faithful

Secret emotional affair

I smell the aroma in the air

When you said you loved me

Didn’t you mean her?

Full of betrayal

Mocking my love

for your fairy tail 

When you said you loved me

Didn’t you mean her?

As I kiss your lips

Tender and soft

A vision her I is what I caught

It's In your stare

As I look in your eyes

You can no longer hide

Masquerade or disguise

When you said you loved me

Didn’t you mean her?

The thoughts of her caressing your skin

The votes are in

When you said you loved me

Didn’t you mean her?

Waiting for that day

When I hear you say

When I said I loved you

I really meant her

I won’t be so hurt

with my head in the dirt

I Had time to prepare

from your emotional affair

Of what might be

I can now see

When you said you loved thee

You didn't mean me
