Emptied

I was young and naive
So pretty and sweet
Like a child you took my hand
Promised things oh so grand
And then you deceived me

I was careful, cautious, pure
I was so unsure
You wrote me love letters like a pro
How was I supposed to know
that you'd deceive me?

I won't miss a love like yours
The kind that never cures
The kind that leaves me emptied
I won't miss those words you said
And all the ways you mislead
Leaving me feeling emptied

I was caught in a daze
never knowing which ways
to go to find out the truth
Where was I to find the proof
that showed you'd deceived me?

Now more careful, cautious, sure
Not captured in your lure
I discarded your poetry as lies
And ignored all your wasted tries
To come back to deceive me

I won't miss a love like yours
The kind that never cures
The kind that leaves me emptied
I won't miss those words you said
And all the ways you mislead
Leaving me feeling emptied

I am so glad I'm done with all that
I won't ever turn and go back
I felt like an empty vessel in your arms
And I don't miss that
No, I don't miss that

I won't miss a love like yours
The kind that never cures
The kind that leaves me emptied
I won't miss those words you said
And all the ways you mislead
Leaving me feeling emptied
