You once told me that you'd love me
under certain circumstance.
Behind the walls you always showed me
there was never any chance.
You said you'd try anything once
and swore that I was no exception
and I tried my best to live the lie because I heard it in your voice.
So help me God 'cause I could hear it.
You said you could.
You said you would.
You raised a poor boy's hopes
that night.
So tell the truth, were you just acting
on good intent and talking fast?
You never meant me any harm
but sometimes that's the hurt that lasts.
You said you'd try anything once
and swore that I was no exception
and I tried my best to live the lie because I heard it in your voice.
So help me God 'cause I could hear it.
You said you could.
You said you would.
You raised a poor boy's hopes
that night.
