YOU! parts one and two
Part 1
The boy, not the one next door..
But he's just a hop skip and a jump to the core of my heart.
Down a thousand mile plus road that carries my childhood
Full of half-empty love and broken promises
With a side of failed "i love you's"
That ring so flawlessly in a very flawed world of unfaithfully beaten paths we've travelled together.
Big words over-used to describe this mess that we lie in...
The key word is lie, honey because that's all we seem to do.
Lie with our feet in our teeth, and we're left eating our words.
You waltzed in half-assed and ready to fuck me up sideways.
You were like a hurricane leaving nothing untouched by your lies.
Because that's exactly what you are...the prince of lies, and deciet, and half-made promises with just a pinch of arrogance.
Because like everything, your lies TO YOU were like black and white.
So different. White was the lies in your vision, and black were they in mine.
What was harmless to you was destructive to me, and i saw the worst of you every day.
You loved me, to your convenience, and I was just the fool in your plan, the pawn in your chess game.
And you played me for what I let myself be.
And I believed your stories, laying my head down to a shower of my love for you each night.
Pouring from my eyes like rain, but it seems that now...
Crimson is the only color i cry for YOU.
Part 2:
You , the boy not so far from my heart...still so far from yourself.
A lie that I covered up with,
In high hopes that someday your kiss might kill me,
Someday your lies might save me,
Or even that someday I might wake up from this nightmare.
But I'm still dreaming about a future that was old long ago.
And you're nowhere to be seen...as always.
Either forgotten or forgetting, always the case and No difference
Is seen through my blind eyes that so gracelessly fell for your many disguises and blank innuendos.
I've payed for my mistakes with tears, and you've payed for my tears with your hate.
A hate that I never earned, or deserved...so why give it?
You are seeking my vengance, and targeting me with my arrows.
But behind these brown eyes lies a girl who's hopes are still high...
That my happiness might kill you sooner than your kisses will me.
ANd i can go back to the day before i met you and erase my regret..
But i can't, all I can do is hope...which is better than you can ever hope for
Because you're left with the knowledge that YOU are who you are!
