The path to the truth is a mine field
Things blowing up in your face as you go along
Try to ignore them when the dust settles
But, there's not nearly enough to cover them all up
I stand here covered in dirt
Drowning in my own tears
Faulted to a T about my blind eye to you
There was so much more going on behind the scenes than I ever knew
You were good at playing both sides at first
Keeping us both happy without knowledge of the reality of the situation
What did you keep me around for? She was the one you called yours
Was I just the one who came with certain perks?
The you I met would've never used me
The you I fell for held my hand
He didnt fold for anyone
But, we got complicated, life got real
So you went and found someone who hadn't met life yet
A younger bubbly impressionable girl who would probably never challenge you
So broken heartedly I tried to let go
But couldn't, and it's much harder when you won't let me let go
Begged me to stay
Although I knew better
I grew more attached
And you grew attached to both
Who knows who more..
Now, she's moving cross country to be with you
Did you even think to ask me?
Was our relationship a joke? A test drive?
But, then you don't have the decency to leave me be
Or to be honest with me either
But, I'm not worried about her
Just me
And how I never thought you'd lie to me
Then I said lie to me so many times
Or right from the ******* start
Who the hell are you?
You are not who I spoke to on the phone last night
You're a stranger
That has been lying to me for so long now I've lost count.
I've lost track of why I stayed around so long. Hoping you'd change, change your mind
Change it to what?
Me be the one uprooting my life on an aloof guy
Who can't seem to think about anyone but himself and hiding from everyone??
With each new lie imploding in my face, they will surely implode in yours eventually
I just see streaks of blood fly everywhere.
Cuts me right to bone
I thought so highly of you
I just landed through broken glass
Like scattered broken promises
You make me cry
You make me want to hate you
You make me sick that I just keep tripping over the same step
How could you look me in the face and lie so many times?
I cried
I pleaded
I just wanted the ugly truth
Now that I know it..
It's ugliness
Doesn't compare to you
A stranger hidden by a quiet smile
And plans bigger than the world
But, they only involve you
Yeah you'll call me
But, I think maybe I can take no more I was so happy to hear your voice
Then everything came out
And you're just nonchalant while I wanna throw up
I felt safe in your arms
And missed them so
Now I can't even handle a phone call
And fight the ugly tears as I let you go
When you stop dressing up the lies
And are honest to yourself too
You'll see your mistakes and what got left behind you
They say you've got nothing but time
But, just like the boy who cried wolf
Eventually when you're ready to to tell the truth
No one will be around to hear it
And you'll finally see what it feels like to be in mid sentence
As the cast takes a bow
And the curtain closes
And You're just the ending credits
The ugly truth is, no one sticks around to watch them
You're still the star of the show
But, today was the last curtain call
The ugly end.
