Met her on the steps of the old law school
Eyes like a dream she played it so cool
We talked of cases of justice and fate
Falling fast it all felt like fate
Days turned to nights and we shared every thought
In the corners of courtrooms our passion caught
We laughed at the world whispered our plans
In a world of our own just holding hands
But love isn't always the way that it seems
It starts with a spark but can burn through your dreams
The sweetest of moments turned bitter and dark
Now I'm left with the pieces of a broken heart
At first it was magic a fire so bright
But slowly the shadows crept into the light
Jealousy secrets and words left unsaid
Tangled in webs that grew in my head
She'd smile in the daytime but turn cold at night
We'd argue for hours never made it right
The love that once held me now felt like a chain
Every word from her lips only brought pain
But love isn't always the way that it seems
It starts with a spark but can burn through your dreams
The sweetest of moments turned bitter and dark
Now I'm left with the pieces of a broken heart
Then came the night that tore me apart
Found her with another shattered my heart
Every promise she made was just a lie
Now I'm standing here just asking why
I trusted her more than I trusted myself
Gave her my heart and nobody else
But betrayal cut deeper than words can explain
Left me in fragments drowning in pain
Her laughter now echoes haunting my mind
A love once so pure now cruel and unkind
Picking up pieces of what we once knew
But the picture is broken I can't make it through
But love isn't always the way that it seems
It starts with a spark but can burn through your dreams
The sweetest of moments turned bitter and dark
Now I'm left with the pieces of a broken heart
In the halls of the past I'm still searching for peace
In a story where love seemed it would never cease
But the chapters turned quickly to pages of pain
Left with only the scars and a bitter refrain
