I Don't Know

The last four years of my life
I believed in you
I gave you everything I had
because I loved you
But now I just don't know

I remember when I first met you
I felt joy like I'd never felt
I remember the flame that was in my heart
I just wanted to please you
But now I just don't know

Can it be that all I once believed in
isn't true
And you don't love me
And all that I've ever lived for
is just a dream
You are just like Santa Claus
the Easter Bunny
I once believed in them
But now I know differently

The songs that I sang for you
tell how much you have meant to me
The words you spoke
I thought they were true
You said you would make me free
But now I just don't know

I felt such a warmth inside
whenever you came close
There was a peace in the air
and I thought you were there
But now I just don't know

Can it be that all I thought was truth
is a lie
and you don't really care
And all that I've ever lived for 
is just a dream
You are just like Santa Claus
the Easter Bunny
I once believed in them
But now I know differently

Can it be that all I thought you said
it is just in my head
And you don't love me
And all that I've experienced
is just a phase
Then why do I talk to you
and I tell you how I feel?
Can it be that you are real?
Can you still love me?

I don't know
