Half The Cost

I used to call you baby

But never to your face

I used to chase you round and round

But only at my pace

I used to say I love you

To your picture in a frame

I used to tell the world about you

Leaving out your name

And I guess I could have fought for you

Bashing down your walls

Convince you that you needed me

Walking dead end halls

But what's the point, you know

Because I always would have lost

I'm lucky, I got a broken heart

For only half the cost

I used to bring you splendors

Hidden in my palm

You used to make me crazy

Though I outwardly seemed calm

I used to think you'd change

You just needed to pretend

I used to think you loved me

But you weren't even my friend
