I cried a thousand tears today

When I realized you were gone

I thought that I could keep you here

But you left just past the dawn



And if that wasn’t quite enough

I realize what you stole

Not just the key to my old heart

You emptied out this hole



I only see the sorrow here

I only see what’s left

And all my mind can comprehend

Is your selfish, silent theft



How could you do what you have done?

What is it you couldn’t see?

Was I so bad to deal with?

Is that what I should believe?



I trusted you completely

You were my missing link

And now you have betrayed me

This here is what I think



I think you took advantage

Of the love I offered you

And I think you took for granted

The care and affection, too



I think you’ve made me realize

What a waste of time you were

And you also made me see

That you’re a despicable little cur



I wasn't at an ends with you

But, still, I tried to see

Maybe I could smooth it out

Perhaps it was just me



And now I see for what you are

I see what you can be

You think I’ve changed, but you’re the one

Without responsibility



You’ve cause way too much damage

In such a little time

But all your excuses mean nothing now

You’re a tireless bag of slime



And all the pleading in the world

Won’t get you out of this

For what you’ve done, you’re gonna pay

‘Cause now I’m really pissed





You can’t go doing what you’ve done

And get off all scot-free

You’ve got some ramifications here

You’ve got to answer to me



I guess you didn’t realize

How crazy I could be

I guess you never thought that I

Was one to oversee



But now you know and it’s too bad

It’s too little now, too late

Well, too late for you but not for me

I’m seeing through your fate



You made me bleed inside for you

So now return the favor

I may not be able to break your heart

But consider that a slight waiver



You will remember what you’ve done

You will pay for your greed

But I’ll bet you won’t do it again

You’re gonna learn from this bad deed



You made me cry a thousand tears

On the day that you hurt me

And now I’ll cry a thousand more

In thanks, because I’m free
