Spinning

You sent me spinning, turning on my head
The lies you told, all the things you said
You sent me reeling, crashing down in fire
Who would believe I could love a liar

Like a fiction romance, a lovers love story
You came to my life in a blaze of glory
Like a drama queen in the greatest show
You played the part and I didn't know

It's hard to take when lies are told
Lives are shattered and feelings sold
You placed your words with careful aim
You shot my heart and watched the pain

So what now to become of me?
Another failure in love's rich tapestry

Now I lie alone in a bed so cold, so cold
All I have is dust left from what was gold
Days come and go, and life goes on
But the feeling stopped when you were gone

So insecure, so empty now
A desolate man, a broken vow
