I used to trust you Now it seems you're a liar Never trust a man when his pants are on fire Or his ego's ablaze With a girl hungry craze Writing poetry and letters Let's see if I can get'ters Forgetting the one that has always been there One eternally lost in your tender stare A heart that keeps beating For a lover that seems fleeting And her faith in what the future could be If you just could just stop and see the real ME Not the picture you've painted Of love that's been tainted You'd give up a dime and pick at the nickels This heart bleeds so much it now feels like tickles Can you see the hurt you've caused, or the pain? You'd probably have to be hit by a train My devotion is true and my heart is quite pure It cuts like a knife that you're so unsure So you'll keep on searching and the best thing you'll miss What you've wanted your whole life -- eternal bliss

It's just not Wrights, man.
I used to trust you Now it seems you're a liar Never trust a man when his pants are on fire Or his ego's ablaze With a girl hungry craze Writing poetry and letters Let's see if I can get'ters Forgetting the one that has always been there One eternally lost in your tender stare A heart that keeps beating For a lover that seems fleeting And her faith in what the future could be If you just could just stop and see the real ME Not the picture you've painted Of love that's been tainted You'd give up a dime and pick at the nickels This heart bleeds so much it now feels like tickles Can you see the hurt you've caused, or the pain? You'd probably have to be hit by a train My devotion is true and my heart is quite pure It cuts like a knife that you're so unsure So you'll keep on searching and the best thing you'll miss What you've wanted your whole life -- eternal bliss
