You tell me that you love me
But you knew it hurt me yet you did nothing to make sure it didn't
you put everyone and I mean everyone above me for days
And I put you above me in all my dumb ways
Tell me what to believe ma chèrie!
You tell me that you love me
But you plunged the knife deeper when I told you where it was stuck
you told me we were out of sheer freaking luck
you told me to hide, wail, and duck
Tell me what to believe ma chèrie!
You tell me that you love me
And listen here's what I now know
Hold on to everything you care about because it might be a blow
Just loving someone is never enough and if you can't treat me right then let me go
I held onto you so hard that my knuckles turned white
And your response to everything was flight
Tell me what to believe ma chèrie!
