Lost Love
No one ever told me that love could hurt
That when that person left I'd feel like dirt
No one ever told me that love could bring pain
And I'd be sitting here praying for the strength to maintain

No one ever told me that love could make me cry
Make me lie down in my bed and just hope to die
No one ever told me love could cut like a knife
That it could drag me down and suck out my life

But now I know that all this is true
And I just want to tell you THANK YOU!

Thank you for walking out and breaking my heart
After you told me that we'd never part
Thank you for making me feel alone and in pain
After you promised I'd never see pain

Thank you for showing me I was stupid after all
Because I sat by the phone waiting for you to call
Thank you for proving to me that my mind was off track
Because I went against my instincts and I took you back

But it's ok I know I will survive
And I'll never again let love take me for a ride
