Was it just your pleasure
To cause me such pain
What did you strive for
Was it pride you had to gain?
Could you not just be honest
Instead of filling me with lies
Now I sit here feeling cheap
In a blinded disguise.
To open up no more
For my trust was truly shattered
I never thought my life would be
This strung out, or battered.
You made me feel important
Like you really wanted me
Now silence is your game
Through you, I can see!
If I had the chance to do it all again
I would remove that night
You never would have existed
and I would still be alright
I wouldn't have confused my relationship
for something I thought would be good
So, I choose to make you disappear
just like I really should.
