Heartbreak in the Night: A Tale of Love's Betrayal

Always thought your promise was for life
Expressing disappointment as the promise of everlasting commitment is broken.
I did not think that I
Unexpectedly facing the reality of a goodbye despite not anticipating it.
Would hear you say good bye
Expressing the emotional impact of hearing the words "goodbye."
And I always heard you led another life
Acknowledging doubts about the faithfulness of the partner in the relationship.
I doubted every time
Continuing to doubt the partner's actions and sincerity.
I guess every time
Reflecting on persistent doubts throughout the relationship.
Cause in my eyes
Viewing love as something magical, emphasizing a romantic perspective.
Love was always something magical
Contrasting the magical perception of love with the tragic feeling experienced.
But the feeling is so tragic for
Expressing the profound sadness associated with the experience of love.
And all I know is in love

I can't possess
Acknowledging the inability to possess the desired aspect of love.
There's only emptiness
Describing a sense of emptiness in the speaker's experience of love.
In the late of night
Setting the emotional context as the night falls.
Just before I closed my eyes
Reflecting on deceit or falsehood just before the speaker goes to sleep.
You lied
Explicitly stating the act of lying within the context of a kiss.
As you kissed me goodnight
Connecting the deceitful act with a tender moment like saying goodnight.
In the late of night
Reiterating the emotional setting of deception during the night.
Just before I closed my eyes
Expressing the emotional pain through crying as the night closes in.
I cried
Linking the act of crying to the goodbye kiss.
As you kissed my lips good-bye
Stating the emotional impact of a farewell kiss on the lips.
In my eyes
Expressing a lasting positive perception of the partner in the speaker's eyes.
You will always be the lucky one

Cause you know you'll always have my love

For all time until I die
Expressing commitment to love until death.
Through the end I gave to you my best
Highlighting the speaker's dedication and effort in the relationship.
You gave, you gave me loneliness
Acknowledging that despite efforts, the partner reciprocated with loneliness.
In the late of night
Revisiting the emotional context of deception in the late night.
Just before I closed my eyes
Repeating the theme of lying just before the speaker falls asleep.
You lied

As you kissed me goodnight
