Not Who You Thought

He’s different

He’s older

He’s very smart

He fills the space

Within your empty heart

 

You’re different

You’re perfect

You’ve stolen his heart

Life is so hard

When you’re miles apart

 

They’re together

They’re perfect

They’re never apart

Their feelings are stronger

Than they were at the start

 

BUT

 

Something happens

Something unexpected

Something not so smart

Now you’re confused and

Spending more time apart

 

You’re broken

You’re stupid

You’re falling apart

Because all you’ve been fed

Were lies from the start

 

He’s selfish

He’s deceitful

It's been an act from the start

Just a man who took advantage

Of your young foolish heart.
