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 anymore

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 (mm hmmm)

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
