Did you know that I love you I wanted to make sure you knew I really wanted to show you How much I care for you I let you back into my life I let you see my core I let you see the game I play I even let you score But the game you play isn't mine You aren't the kind of person To show yourself to me At least not the me I want you to see I'm not that man I pretended to be Without the painful chest But I wasn't able to keep it up I was never good at chess Why did I let you in again Why did I think you could be better Why, oh why did I ever believe That you were full of anything but pain Pain that I drowned myself in When I ripped you open And now my chest is full to bursting With emptiness and yearning But I can't ever have you A fact that we both know And now the curtains have come down On our worst and final show Forever to be a herald of you Of what you do to good men You break them down and eat them Never to be seen again But when the sun rises on the new day And when it shines upon me I'll show the world what I've become I'll be the one that got away

This one ended up being kind of long and strayed off the path, but I still like it
