You held my hand
while you cut me down
We just got started
but it's over now

You're smiling in the spotlight
Dancing with the night
And I've left your mind and heart
I'm tired of buying your time
When I get nothing in return

I should of known better
But I couldn't resist your open arms
I couldn't help the leap when I was tripped so hard
Now I'm left just falling apart

For all I say you always say more
And I can't give you what you've been looking for
You were too good to be true
Your charm always crept closer and
Like a fool I fell pride and all for you

You're the wiser one
Now I stand by the river I cried
And I let myself drown
You swore you'd stand beside me
Now I'm not there beside you
I was yours for the taking
But that was a mistake
I settled for wrong when I ignored the right thing

We had magic but it turned tragic
My life has been infected
Since you left me neglected
I know you're probably sorry
We were always so sweet
But you deceived me
I'll probably regret it
But it's too late now because
you've lost me somehow

"I love you" didn't mean much
My mind is gone now
Deep inside my tears I'll drown
I was a victim and it cut like a knife
Why did we ever have to kiss?
This has turned to a hit and miss

We spent so much time now that's no more
I should of never let you hold me baby
I didn't give into you on purpose though
So tell me how you managed to steal my heart
I want to forget how your kisses tasted on my lips
But there are some things I'm sure to never forget
I tried to keep you amused but I'm tired of being used
And since I'm not your everything
How about I be your nothing
Baby's so tired of hurting

All who love are blind
And our love was on fire
So we danced with desire
But now we've turned to ashes
And the smoke is in our eyes
Ignorance is kind to the heart and mind but
Pain in truth is all you'll ever find

Time can never mend the disappearance of your best friend so
Please don't patronize me
Why hurt each other more with words we want to say
Wish I could just turn down all these voices in my head
But I can't so instead
I'm going to close my eyes
So I don't have to see
the love you don't feel for me

You were always the mysterious one
With your dark eyes and crazy hair
Into fashion but too cool to really care
And you failed to notice how
My heart for you would bleed
I was always on my knees
You're thoughtless words always broke my heart

You were always so brilliant smoking your cigarettes
and talking over coffee
Your philosophies on art and life
You'd teach me of honest things,
Things that were daring, things that were clean.
Things that you thought about life and what it to you did mean.

And I must of mistaken you for somebody else,
Somebody who gave a ****,
Somebody more like myself
And now I'm too tired to care about wrong or right
Because I surrender to you in this fight...
