Broken fractured dreamer
Trying to put the pieces of other people's lives
back together again
Manipulative schemer
Trying to find my pleasure at the risk of
other people's pain

Who do I think I am?
Playing with your heart
I'm a selfish child
wearing an adult disguise
Covering up my truth
with choreographed lies
Who do I think I am?
Playing with your heart

Starry eyed romantic
Trying to create in you an unattainable
unrealistic desire
A frantic lustful tantric
Trying to fulfill your every need and
stoke your sexual fire

I want something I have no right to take
But to covet
Is to love it
And it's the best mistake I'll ever make

Definitely disturbing, but many of us prefer a life like this...

Insightful yes because I don't want to be this person but I can't seem to help myself. Thanks for reading between the lines.

If it's unattainable and unrealistic, one wonders what is the point in pursuing it?  On the other hand, if it's the best mistake you'll ever make, why not go down in a blaze of glory?  Choices...

Intriguing...

I'm a selfish child
wearing an adult disguise
Covering up my truth
with choreographed lies
--great line
