Analysis of If he loved me



He said he loved me I knew it was a lie,
If he loved me he would've never made me cry.
He said he loved me but he left me all alone,
You don't do things for us with a heart made of stone.
He said he loved me but he pushed me around,
The one you love shouldn't be left crying on the ground.
He said he loved me I knew it was a lie,
If he loved me he would've never made me cry.
