People who love you

People who love you
And you think better of
Sometimes they hurt you
And don't even know

They ripped out my heart
And held it to my face
They said this is yours
And threw it away

What did I do
That made them turn so
Why do they hate me
What made them go

People who hurt you
Said that they loved you
Damned by their lies
What made them turn

They had their reasons
I just do not see them
Why do they hate me
Who made them turn
