As I shadow the life
That I once lived
All the pain and strife
The things I did
All the times I lied
And things I hid
Are what changed my mind
To a mans from a kids

With a deceptive heart
You broke me down
Way back at the start
When I never frowned

You played the game
And faked the feeling
So I feel true pain
Since I was kneeling

I gave you 2 rings
And a love so true
Beyond material things
I gave my world to you

But by your decision
We split again
During a deep depression
I found “you won’t be missed”

So as time moves on
I will too
As I sing heavens’ songs
I see what I’ll do

During my time of change
You remain in the past
And after my hearts’ pain
I won’t come back

Your mistakes dictate your life
While my decisions form my heart
Your decisions are what broke your mind
My mistakes are freed me from the dark
You said love and wasted my time
I said love instead of playing smart
But my use of love put me in the light
While yours… heh…
Yours left you dead in the dark...
