Don't say it if you don't mean it.

Don’t tell me how much you love me,
when you don’t really care.
Don’t feed me lines I want to hear;
trust we no longer share.

Don’t try fooling me with silly games.
I’m wiser than you think.
Don’t send me flowers, gifts, and candy,
or give a charming wink.

Don’t tell me that you want me,
or that you’ll be there.
I won’t let you break me again
by saying that you care.

I’m much stronger now than ever;
this going on for years.
I’ve heard enough of your bullshit
to last one hundred years.
