It hurts to know they think I used them, nothing more, That I cared only for their bodies, and nothing at the core. They never took the time to know the heart inside, Now I wear the mask of a villain, with nowhere to hide. I tried to show them who I was, deeper than the skin, But all they see is someone playing a game to win. They don’t see the care, the love I tried to give, Now I’m just the one who took, while they relive. I’m painted as the one who saw them as a toy, As if I only sought to break, to use, and destroy. But I am not that man, that’s not the truth I know, I wanted something real, but they’ll never see it show. Now I stand as the villain in their tainted view, A stranger to the heart they never really knew. I wish they’d look beyond the scars and what they claim, To see the soul behind the name they chose to blame.
