All alone, I feel betrayed
Even though nothing’s changed
Deep inside I always knew
I was just a kiss to you
I can’t promise you won’t hear from me
I loved you and I meant it
So sorry it wasn’t the same
To me it wasn’t a game
And I shouldn’t, but I’d take you back in a heartbeat
So please, please don’t ask me
After all that we’ve been through
From drunken fights to kisses beneath the moon
Don’t I owe myself to find another love? But could I lie?
I can’t promise you won’t hear from me
I loved you and I meant it
So sorry it wasn’t the same
To me it wasn’t a game
And I shouldn’t, but I’d take you back in a heartbeat
So please, please don’t ask me
Please
Oh, you were always the one who understood
And I was the fool who believed you
But I’ll soon forget, just like you
Oh you make it seem easy
I’ll be good as you, a heart still works in pieces
Thanks for the lies and pretending to care, like you needed me
For playing so dumb, cause you freed me
From your little games that wrapped me in chains
I admit, I thought if I was caught, I was stuck in a good place
Turns out love just isn’t that easy
Is it?
