Bait and Switch

I threw it on the ground and burst into tears

I'd given you everything

All of these years

Believed all the promises

Allayed all my fears

Made an investment

And got no return

Waiting for smolder 

My heart got the burn

 I swallowed my words

'Cause what could be said

It's written in stone now

Flat lined, pronounced dead

Words taped to the door 

I rose from our bed

And it seemed more unreal

Each time that I read

Am I really this clueless

Did I not read the signs

Have I been in denial

Or just deaf, dumb and blind

Now none of it matters

Gotta leave it behind

No more my Valentine

No more my lover

The engagement is off

You left me for my brother
