You tied me down slow
Whispered you wouldn't leave
Then slipped right out the back

Your love was just an act
And I believed in it
'Cause I needed it

You told me
You loved me
But it didn't mean a thing
(Didn't mean a thing)

You had me
In your hands
But never in your plans
(Never in your plans)

I grew up and couldn't hold on
'Cause I realised all I needed
Was someone to hold onto

It's been weeks since I've been able to sleep
And days since I started to sink

You told me
You loved me
But it didn't mean a thing
(Didn't mean a thing)

You had me
In your hands
But never in your plans
(Never in your plans)

I'll burn this bridge and seal my fate
I lost all hope
You lost my faith
I came back from the end
Your hate came back for the death

(You told me)
(You loved me)
(But it didn't mean a thing)

You can say whatever you like
We both know you're not alone tonight
I could feel you slipping away
Even though you told me nothing changed

(You had me)
(In your hands)
(But never in your plans)
