Michael

I still hear the echoes of your calls on the phone

We’d laugh through the wire so you weren't alone

You’d sing to me beautifully, tender and deep

I held onto your words before falling asleep

That night at Studio 7, I ran out the door

Fell right in your chest and just cried, needing more

You were so protective, a big heart on display

But Michael, that soft-hearted man slipped away

How do you hold me and promise you'll stay

Then turn around, disappear, and look the other way?

You said you were in love, now you don't even call

Leaving me foolish and taking the fall

I still love you, Michael, but I'm broken and bruised

I held you down in the dark, just to end up used

Last July I pulled up just to bring you back home

At the gas station, you held me like I was your own

You looked in my face, swore you wouldn't disappear

Promised no repeats of the pain from last year

But now you don't ask if I'm breathing or okay

You're with other women, just pushing me away

I feel so stupid to everyone who knew

How much of my trust I surrendered to you

It felt so good laying safe in your arms

My head on your chest, shielded from harm

You’d pull my body close through the middle of the night

So sexy, so gentle, you held me so tight

But how could you stare in my eyes and just lie?

Blow me off after weeks, leave me asking why

You left me confused in the silence we share

After telling me you loved me, like you actually cared

How do you hold me and promise you'll stay

Then turn around, disappear, and look the other way?

You said you were in love, now you don't even call

Leaving me foolish and taking the fall

I still love you, Michael, but I'm broken and bruised

I held you down in the dark, just to end up used
