I loved you once,
whole-heartedly I loved you,
and you hurt me once.
And all because I let you.

You hurt me once,
selfishly you hurt me,
so I cried for you once.
Foolishly I never learned.

I loved you again,
passionately I loved you,
and you hurt me again.
Endlessly, I cried.

Ever still do I cry,
over how you hurt me,
and how I let you.
I knew it was all a lie.
But foolishly I never learned.

I loved you again,
carefully I loved you,
and you hurt me again.
Endlessly, you lied.

Ever still do you lie,
always in your acts,
never said you those words.
That is why I cry.
And then finally I did learn.

I loved you no more,
eventually I stopped,
and you hurt me no more.
Yes, I finally learned.

I loved you no more.
Through no lesson of yours,
I learned what my love was for.
For something better than you.

I deserved much more.
Thank God I realized,
I deserve much more...
