Hung Out To Dry
How stupid I was to believe every word you said?
All the while you constructed lies within your head
I fell totally in love with you; felt safe next to you in bed
You said you loved me too; but your heart must be made of lead
You drew me in like a spider to an unsuspecting fly
Every thread of the web was a cold, calculated lie
I never questioned you; I never tried to pry
You broke my heart; now my love for you must die
I bared my soul; gave love to you, like never before
Now I’m licking my wounds; picking my soul off the floor
I’m fighting back now; ready to face life again
Determined that I will never, never feel such pain
No not I; I will not ever again be stung
Never again deaf to alarm bells that rung
And when daylight comes along
It will dawn on you; my anthem; my song:
I will never again be hung out to dry
I will never allow you my tears that I cry

Yeah, yet somehow when you love again well you
seem to take the same risk all over again.
But I can relate. This is a powerful write
and sad, yet somehow I believe you're a tough
cookie. ;)
