I Was Rarely On Your Mind

When you said that you loved me,
though you knew it wasn't true, 
had you planned your betrayal,
as a thing you had to do?

Wasn't even your second best,
how could I've been so very blind?

I was rarely on your mind,

(I was rarely on your mind)

I was rarely on your mind.

Maybe I was in the wrong place,
at the lonely, lonely times,
but you never once told me, 
you were happy I was yours.

And those things you should have said and done,
guess you just never made the time.

I was rarely on your mind,

(I was rarely on your mind)

I was rarely on your mind.

Tell me,
tell me how you lived with me and lied,

and give me,
give me from your grave the tears I have so cried,
that I so cried.

And those things you should have said and done,
guess you just never made the time.

I was rarely on your mind,

(I was rarely on your mind)

I was rarely on your mind.

I was rarely on your mind.

(I was rarely on your mind)

I was rarely on your mind.
