I Used to Say I Love You

I used to say I love you

It wasn't really true

I wanted to believe it

And now I almost do

I used to say I love you

I said it as a threat

Or maybe as a promise

To see what I could get

But my heart doesn't break anymore

No my heart doesn't ache anymore

'Cause it just couldn't take any more

And I've lost my illusions about you now

I used to say I love you

It wasn't what I meant

What I really meant was

Come on in my tent

But you were reluctant

Although I was so hot

Now I understand it

But back then I did not

But my heart doesn't wear anymore

No my heart doesn't care anymore

'Cause my heart isn't there anymore

And I've lost my illusions about you now

And now if I should see you

Or call you on the phone

I wonder who's that person

I could never call my own

Although I kind of like you

I'll never understand

Why I got so excited

Each time that we held hands

'Cause my heart doesn't feel anymore

No my heart doesn't wheel anymore

'Cause it just isn't real anymore

And I've lost my illusions about you now
