I used to be fascinated
by everything you stood for
I'd hang on to every word
that came from your lips.
I'd smile at the right times
and became your pawn in ways
I'd laugh at your wittiness
even live my life around
the things that you'd say.

To me, you were a god
I put you on that pedastool
I'd look up to you for guidance
for an answer, for a solution
but all I ever got was emptiness.
When you'd kiss me, I'd shiver
your touch alone was enough
to make me want to surrender.
Yes your love was a dangerous one
but of course, I did not know it then.

Life was confusing to me
full of twists and turns
times where I'd feel let down
I'd run into your open arms.
Hoping for a sign from you
I'd wait for you to say the words
nights I spent in your arms
but never did you reciprocate
half of what I was
feeling down deep inside.

Thats when you started to fall
into a path of worlds unknown
you became a stranger to me
once tender, now so cold.
The light that shined around you
only seemed so dim now
the aura that used to glow
died along with the rest of you.
I don't know what happened that day
but it changed you forever.

Was it my fault for thinking
that you were someone you weren't?
Was it my fault for acting
like you were perfect?
I know everyone makes mistakes
but when you started to act like you were,
thats when I started to realize.
That all the things you said were lies
and those dreams you had were just that.
Just dreams, just dreams in your head.
You never intended on a future with me
I was just another girl, any girl to you.

Sometimes when I see your face now
I can't believe how naive I was
but then when you meet my eyes
and your smile lights up the room,
I feel a familiar pang in my stomache
and I remember everything you once stood for.
You could have been great, you know
you could have made it in life
but you chose to go the other way.
I guess I can't keep blaming you
but sometimes I'd really like to try.

Yeah, a lot of people act like something they aren't and it's really hard to find that out. But don't blame yourself--no one's perfect, and we tend to be harder on ourselves more than we would be on another person. Very well done!
