I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear,

And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
Your twisted words,
Your help just hurts,
You are not what I thought you were-
Hello to high and dry.

Convinced me to please you,
Made me think that I need this too,
I’m trying to let you hear me as I am.

— Sara Bareilles, “Love Song”
