I lose the faith easily
That's just something about me
I have no confidence in myself
Therefore I have no confidence in anyone
True friends are few and far between
It's been this way since I was a teen
There is nothing or no one specifically to blame
It's just that life is one big game
I can't escape the person I am
There is just no one that could understand
The way I feel and the way I think
Not even I can find the missing link
I feel so confused, like nothing is real
That's why my true self I try to conceal
Being let down is something I'm used to
It's very difficult for me to have to go through
I always give one hundred ten percent
Only to be left living a life of torment
I hate that I care about people that mean not one thing
I'm looking for love, not just some fling
Spare me your flirtatious words and your meaningless jargon
All of the fake love has left my soul hardened

Him

He led you on
He let you down
He lied to you
He made you feel small
He used you
He was blind to your feelings
He showed no care
He had no interest in you
He didn't love you
He didn't want you

Me*

I think about you all day
I go out of my way to be nice to you
I spend all my resources trying to make you happy
I care so much about your well being
I want you to be safe
I wish for your happiness
I'm totally invested in you
I like everything about you
From the way you think to the way you look
I never ignore you
I'd never give up on you
I love you

But you still prefer him
And you lie to me about it
I can't trust you anymore

I can't stand it when you don't act like an adult
You just assume the worst and revolt
You think you know everything but don't bother to ask
You cop a bad attitude and start acting crass
It's so pathetic how you act like a child
That isn't attractive and it gets me riled
You're always the one to point the finger
It's never your fault and the tension lingers
You love to place the blame on me
You always claim that I am lying
Name calling is what you do best
With you I'm anything but impressed
But maybe you're right, I'm just a *****
And now I think it's time for me to make a switch
Focus on myself rather than on you
I hate to say it but I think we're through

You look at others and pass such judgment
Yet you never take the time to look at yourself

My heart has been weakened
It has been forever changed
When I look back on things you've said to me
I feel tortured and pained
I don't know what to do
Since I have given my all to you
You took advantage of me
And my willingness to love
I let you in, I opened my heart
Then you sabotage that
And rip it apart
You were my everything
My whole entire universe
Where do I go from here
Now that our love is in reverse
Was it ever real
Did you ever mean it
I have trouble trusting you
I don't think I can believe it
I never wanted it to end
It wasn't supposed to be like this
I'm not the one your heart desires
And your love is something I already miss
But we're broken and it breaks me
So now I just want to be free
Alone and without you
Since you remind me of what we could be
You'll move on and so will I
But I will always wonder why
Why I could never satisfy you
Why choosing him over me is something you'd do

I never understood why people said ignorance is bliss
Why would someone want to live in the unknown
Wouldn't they rather know the truth
But now that you've waltzed into my life
I'm beginning to understand why it is blissful to be ignorant
It feels good when you tell me how I'm the one
It feels good when you tell me that you're in love with me
That I'm all you want and dream of
You tell me you want to kiss me
And indulge in fun things all romantic relationships entail
It feels great when you assure me that we can make it
That you're over your past lovers
And purely focused on me
It's blissful believing all that is true
But now that I know the real you
I've seen your words and witnessed your lies
And now that I know it I can't help but start to despise
How easily you made me fall in love with you
And how easily you led me to believe that all of it was true
I hate myself for allowing you to
You use me to fill the void that someone else left
And now all I feel is just so much regret
I wish I could go back and blissfully ignore
The fact that you love him and he's the one you adore
I know I don't mean anything in the games that you play
I really just want you to go away
You hurt my heart, break it piece by piece
I don't want to talk to you anymore
Because all of this, I can't ignore
I'm in hell, though I wish I were not
Ignorance is bliss
And believing in you was such a foolish thought

I want you around for now, forever
I believe that we can make it through together
I know we've had our ups and downs
And that it seems impossible right now
But I know that we can make a change
Live it through to the better days
You've been in my life for so long
I don't want to see our relationship go wrong
I appreciate you in so many ways
And if I have to, I will certainly wait
Our love is strong and even if we part
It will never die, it'll stay in our hearts
I'll always care for you as my very close friend
I'll look at you with love all the way to the end

Her
She is the summer
Hot air and **** lemonade
Kisses and passion
