i knew i was in the wrong
to love a man who has eyes
for someone else

but i lied to myself
when he whispered
sweet nothings in my ear
and made myself believe
that i wasn't
the other girl

i told myself
he loved me more
that she probably didn't
love him anyways,
not as much as i did

but i knew i was the reason
for her tears
when she loved him
too much to leave
even though
there was another girl

i only wanted him to be happy
and i thought
i could love him enough for the
both of us

but i knew that
his happiness was not with me
because i was only
the other girl
