You caught your reflection
And told yourself a lie
"I love myself," you said
But you disbelieved inside
You made others laugh
Depicted a world full of joy
"I'm happy," you exclaimed
All part of your ploy
You didn't want to face it
Denial of your past
"I've moved on," you swore
Oh, how your demons had massed
You rebuked my offer for help
Instead you chose me as your pawn
"I'm all you need," you promised
As the naive trusts the conn
You allured me from the start
I fell hard, you stopped short
Those three words to you mean nothing
Pray my heart is the last you distort
