Sweet Nothings

Sweet nothings
Those beautiful words that make me fall in love with you
Make me want to give to you
Forever and ever

Those sweet nothings
They mean everything to me
And I hold onto those words for dear life

You see
I thought I was an exception
I thought it couldn't happen to me because I'm smart
And no, even though you've never been in a relationship before
Even though you've never been truly deceived
Even though you lack experience
It won't happen to me, 'cause I'm too smart for that

Well God gave me a realtiy check
He said "You ain't no different than anyone else
Ain't any higher.
You are just as prone to fall
And until you keep your eyes on me you will always fall."

I thought I knew what I was doin'
I wouldn't fall for those empty words of "love"
Ya see 'cause me and him were best friends
Ride or die, together forever, I'll be there for you always
We would never fall, ever
But what I found out is, me and him were only "best friends"
And as I kept giving he kept taking
And you'd never think he was a damn selfish jerk at first glance
Sometimes I still question it
But deceit is not a conspicuous thing
It does not come announced
It creeps around corners and attacks you when your heart is opened

Hmmm
I remember
The "I loves yous"
The "You're beautifuls"
The "I here for you when you need mes"

But when it ended
Abruptly and for a reason true love would be able to withstand
I realized
That all of your lies
Were sweet nothings

Thank you.
