I never asked to be 
Your one and only
I never asked
For more than the
Time we shared
And all you did 
Is lie to me
And promised
Things that were never there

How long
Should one pretend
That the thing we have
Is at the end
How long 
Should one not see
There is no more
Of you and me

My heart is dumb
To your empty words
My ears are deaf
To the lies you say
My eyes are blind
To the things you do
I tried so hard
But it's the only way

When you have someone
Under your skin
It's never easy to let go
Never easy to get out
Of the inner circle 
Of such power

I see myself 
In the mirror 
At last my image 
Doesn't fade away
With you behind
My lonely past
Doesn't seem 
To be unfair
