Words, that’s all they were

Meaningless and empty

Still, I hung on every single one

Everything you said sounded so magical

I didn’t know they were just a reflex

Things you say to anyone

I saw them differently

Like every word said was how you really feel

It sounded like gospel

Coming from your mouth

So I fell down and worshipped

That sweet tongue of yours

The truth was a song you had never sung

Still, it was a perfect symphony

When all you did was feed on my insecurities

And I believed you

But they were just words

Meaningless and empty was all they were
