heartbroken and disillusioned

you
gave me your word
and now that your word
doesn't mean that much
to me
and in
the silence
I can hear
the truth ring loud and clear
I never meant
that much
to you
and it seems
a whisper to a scream
was all that we knew
before the talk is through
I'm telling you
no more words tonight
no more words
I don't ever want to hear
you say you love me
one more time
no more words tonight
no more words
I'll forever keep the silence
and you can keep
your lies
you try
to throw me
one last line
to throw me
one last time
but now I guess
I'm wise to you
and vows
spoken
in the night
are broken in the light
what you recite
I have heard before
so say no more
the dialogue is over
I see your lips move
but you don't make a sound
you've lost what I have found
a voice inside of me
that sets me free
