WORST CASES
(I HOPE NOT...)

it's so hard to let go of something you want
something promised
thought it was a gift

it's so hard to let go after giving your all
and made a promise
and gave the gift of your soul

how do I go on
did you ever know
how much I gave
did you ever know the truth?

what do I do now
how do I let go
I don't want to
did you ever know the truth?

it's so hard to let go of something you want
when it was given to you
and then taken back

it's so hard to let go after committing all
promised life and death
and gave the gift of your heart

I never lied to you
but I was lied to
over and over and now the truth comes out

but do you even know
we were lied to
now do you know what it's all about?

I was set up with lies
because I dared to believe
and I gave all control
gave my heart and my soul
and my body and life
and now look where I am
she took everything
and left me on the street
with nothing
but the words of this song
and the feeling so wronged
and not wanting to belong to the human race
neither weak nor strong - just an empty place
and a blank expression on my face

cuz I gave it all to her
and she seemed to give a lot to me
but she gave lies first
and that I did not want to see
it's unavoidable now
in this reality
she took it all and left me nothing
  but this song... but then I see...
she left me deeper pain and misery

but you are her child
  and I thought you were mine...
  oh I thought you were mine...
  you can always be mine...

now I can't even reach you
she cut the telephone line
she took everything from me
heart and soul and every dime
she just used me up, threw me away
and left me behind

will this letter get through
will you ever know the truth?
should I tell you just part of it?
will you really face the heart of it?
is that protecting her?
is that lieing to you?
what is right or wrong?
 I love her - I love you -
but I won't lie to you
not even in this song

no I won't lie to you
for a lie is not love
and I love you

and no matter what happens in this great big crazy world
you are always welcome here with me
for you will always be
my little girl

it's so hard to let go of something you want
  when you thought it was yours...
  it's my fault...
  I just never understood a heart...
with closed doors
