I never understood why people said ignorance is bliss
Why would someone want to live in the unknown
Wouldn't they rather know the truth
But now that you've waltzed into my life
I'm beginning to understand why it is blissful to be ignorant
It feels good when you tell me how I'm the one
It feels good when you tell me that you're in love with me
That I'm all you want and dream of
You tell me you want to kiss me
And indulge in fun things all romantic relationships entail
It feels great when you assure me that we can make it
That you're over your past lovers
And purely focused on me
It's blissful believing all that is true
But now that I know the real you
I've seen your words and witnessed your lies
And now that I know it I can't help but start to despise
How easily you made me fall in love with you
And how easily you led me to believe that all of it was true
I hate myself for allowing you to
You use me to fill the void that someone else left
And now all I feel is just so much regret
I wish I could go back and blissfully ignore
The fact that you love him and he's the one you adore
I know I don't mean anything in the games that you play
I really just want you to go away
You hurt my heart, break it piece by piece
I don't want to talk to you anymore
Because all of this, I can't ignore
I'm in hell, though I wish I were not
Ignorance is bliss
And believing in you was such a foolish thought
