All the wrong reasons.

Don't pretend that you love me because I know it's a lie, I can tell by the way you keep shifting your eyes. I could tell by the urgency I felt in your lips, That you wanted more than I wanted to give. There was no love when your hands crept up my shirt, Just lust and the frustration that you couldn't do that with her. And though I blame you for everything that went wrong, I realize now that it's not all your fault. You used me for my body but I used you to feel loved. And after I got attached I realized that it always went back to her, I'd have you for the hour, but she'd have you always and forever. And when I saw you together for the very first time, I realized I imagined that love in my mind. It killed me to know you got what you wanted, And I was tossed aside, so easily forgotten. I think that I loved you for all the wrong reasons.
