The Truth
This is just a little bit of information I thought I should share.
Just in case it ever crosses your mind that I might actually care.
There was a time, I would have given everything just to be with you.
I thought you were the perfect man, too good to be true.
I even wrote a list of every reason you touched my heart.
Unfortunately, reality hit and tore all of my fantasies apart.
I gave myself to you, despite being with another man.
I had it all worked out, it was all part of the plan.
I chose to deceive, for one passionate night in your bed.
But, you see, it was more than that to me; it was eternity in my head.
I thought there was a chance you might actually fall for me.
You would reach out for me in the middle of the night,
...and realize it was meant to be.
Then, one day, I woke up and finally saw the light.
I chose to betray my best friend for only one night.
But, you know, only I am the one to blame.
I was playing with fire, and got burned by its flame.
I learned a valuable lesson from my broken heart.
I put all of the pieces back together and made a fresh, clean start.
Suddenly you popped up again, one day, and I gave in.
I thought- maybe we could start all over again.
But, you eventually showed me it was still just a game.
You only want me... when you're standing alone in the rain.
You think you're so cool and you can have it all.
That's why I'll be there laughing... the day you fall.
Do you think I don't understand what's going on?
Well, I do, and I chose to play along.
I may write sappy words of loves and fears.
My mind controls my emotions, though, and I don't give in to tears.
I'm using you
the same way you are using me.
And, whenever I'm through with you
I'll spit you out... and set you free.
