"Hello"
You had me at Hello
Your words were like a drug
Addictive
I had to have them every night

Your heart was open wide
Telling me what made it tick
Thump
What would make it stop short

Your eyes were dark but full of life
They hid secrets and privacy
Tears
They covered up your horrible lies

Then you took everything I owned
You took my laughter and my tears
Thief
You took my hurt and my pain

Most of all you took my love
My trust
My dignity
and lies
you took
my fears
my heart
and most of all
my mind

I can't explain how I feel
part of me still misses you
part of me will live on
part of me hopes you will stay away

Whichever it may be...
My life will still go on
