How was I to know

How was I to know
You would rip apart
My every faith in you
Every word from your mouth building up a wall
A wall of trust
That crashed down around me
Leaving me exposed and raw
What am I supposed to feel
My head is spinning
Pardon the cliche
Half of me is wracked with sobs
The other seethes with fury
And yet another part denies it all
What am I expected to do
Believe the hearsay
Buy into the talk
And lies
Because that's what they are to me
Lies
What else could they be
What motive is there
None I can see
Yet I'm blinded by my heart
It's aching
Burned once and it should learn
Still it bought into your talk
And lies
And once again finds itself seared
Burned twice and still nothing gained

You promised you'd never hurt me
