Unreliable

(Verse)
I was told by so many people
Not to trust you so blindly

I was warned of so many reasons
Not to fall for you abruptly

(Chorus)
Oh that was the time I ignored it all
Getting so lost in my dreams of our paradise
Oh that was the time I paid no heed to anyone
Just weaving the delicate desires, unaware of their price

And now that you're no more
All they said has come true
And nothing is like before
I know the one to blame is you

(Breakdown)
It hurts to say that the one
I gave my heart to
Is unreliable

(Verse)
Everything was going so fine
You had told me that you were happy

Everything felt just so right
You had said that this was meant to be

(Chorus)
Oh that was the time I ignored them all
Getting so lost in my dreams of our life
Oh that was the time I paid no heed to anyone
But now all these words stab me consistently like a knife

And now that you're no more
All they said has come true
And nothing is like before
I know the one to blame is you

(Breakdown)
It hurts to say that the one
I gave my heart to
Is unreliable

(Bridge)
How could you do this to me?
How could you ruin my memories?
How could you be so cruel to break my heart...

How could you say no to me?
How could you fail to see?
How could you ever dare to tear me apart...

(Breakdown)
It hurts to say that the one
I gave my heart to
Is unreliable

(Ending line)
So unreliable...
Unreliable.

Dedicated to Nawaal, I really hope she gets over being rejected by someone who doesn't deserve such a pure and talented girl like her. I wish her all the best for her life. And no one should be blamed for loving someone who's unreliable, the real person on fault is the one who breaks hearts like they're made of glass and never keeps the commitments that were made.
