I woke up one morning and I couldn't see
That total destruction was waiting for me
I jumped out of bed, gave a kiss on the cheek
Why didn't I know, I was so blind and so weak

I looked out the window, the sun shining bright
There wasn't a clue it all seemed so right
I gave in to love and chose to deny
The life that we had built was only a lie

I hurried and showered and then woke him up
I pulled back the cover and gave him a cup
Though masked oh so well, there was only deceit
Not one ounce of love and I would soon meet
The cold heart before me would soon be revealed
And I would be lost like a sheep in a field

The rose colored glasses that I chose to wear
Not protecting my heart from hurt and despair
Oh why was my guard put down for this one
My life it would change and it was all but done

I had given my heart to the wrong one indeed
And sacrificed all to a man filled with greed
I even denied what everyone knew
My life he had taken but my love only grew
All I had worked for my whole life through
Would be gone on this day and nothing I could do

My fate it was sealed on this sunny day
The life I had dreamed of was taken away
At the hands of a man I had to protect
There was no appreciation, not even respect
He used and abused me, to him just a game
But I let him do it and still took the blame

As hard as I tried the day it was here
They would all turn their backs and leave me with fear
The ones I had worked for and given my all
Would now just seek justice and put up a wall
In their minds they felt pity but determined to show
I made some wrong choices and I now have to go

Love conquers all, well I use to think
But it left me with nothing before I could blink
Though they all tried to tell me to just turn him in
Love destroyed my life; how blind I have been

The days that did follow became a nightmare
My eyes they would open, my cross I would bare
He left me in ruins and just walked away
My life changed forever that one sunny day.
