Lyrics

I gave you my love

I offered you my affection and care.

But you threw it straight back in my face

However, you rejected it outright.

I should have known better

I should have had better judgment or foresight.

You're just perfume and lace

You only represent superficial qualities like fragrance and delicate fabric.

You're messing around

You're engaging in infidelity or deceit.

You're making a fool out of me

Your actions are making me appear foolish or naive.

But I've had enough baby

I've reached my limit, and I'm ending this relationship.

I'm setting you free

I'm liberating myself from this connection.

But I gave you all the chances

I provided numerous opportunities for change or improvement.

I gave you all the signs

I indicated clearly what was to come.

Now who's the lonely one

Who is now feeling isolated or desolate?

Were you just a waste of time

Was the time spent with you merely a pointless experience?

Empty promises

Assurances or commitments made were hollow and unfulfilled.

I remember the days

I recall the times when things were positive or fulfilling.

When it used to be good

We used to have a strong bond.

We were always together

We were consistently together.

We both understand

We both comprehended each other.

But something went wrong

Something went awry or turned negative.

White turned to black

Our situation deteriorated or changed unfavorably.

So I'm leaving you baby

I'm ending the relationship definitively.

I ain't coming back

I won't return to this relationship.

But I gave you all the chances

I provided ample opportunities for change or improvement.

I gave you all the signs

I clearly communicated what was to come.

Now who's the lonely one

Who is now feeling isolated or desolate?

Were you just a waste of time

Was the time spent with you merely a pointless experience?

Empty promises

Assurances or commitments made were hollow and unfulfilled.

But I gave you all the chances

I provided numerous opportunities for change or improvement.

I gave you all the signs

I clearly communicated what was to come.

Now who's the lonely one

Who is now feeling isolated or desolate?

Were you just a waste of time

Was the time spent with you merely a pointless experience?

Empty promises

Assurances or commitments made were hollow and unfulfilled.
