Do you?

Do you see the pain you cause me?

Can you even begin to see?

Do you know I’m caught in between?

Connected to you by an invisible string.

Do you understand why I left?

Or how I could accuse you of heart theft?

You stole my heart,

And broke it into pieces.

Where do I start?

What were your reasons?

Do you see the hate in my eyes?

There is little love left for me to give.

Do you know that you are the one I despise?

I can’t be with you anymore.

Do you understand the hate that I feel?

When love used to be so real.

You stole my heart and broke it into pieces.

Where do I start?

What were your reasons?

Do you see…

Do you know…

Do you understand…

Do you?
