Damn you

By letitbe

 Damn your eyes for masking your lies, 
Damn your kiss for making me miss

[This]

(You)

Used me for your pleasure 
I never was able to measure 

Up

To your expectations of who I should be 
I'm simply just (me)

Standing before you, soul bared
But you had to dare
[Yourself] to be with her
Tossed aside, where you were 

Moments of carnal pleasure
Ruined me for your leisure.

Excuse me for not being so open this time
I just don't want to fall for another line

When the odds are stacked against me
And you simply can't let me be
Intoxication is your fall back excuse
And I don't want to be misused

It the elephant in the room

It's our doom

This time is different, but so was the last
How do I know you won't rip off the mask 
And show me just who you can be
When your attention is waned away from me

Learning to believe

[Again]


Is as impossible as it is to 

[Forget]

    All you can be is you in the end, no one should have to change you. I'm sure that if you didn't measure up to him, for whatever the reason, that there's someone else out there who will accept you for you. I hope all works out sooner or later, thank you for sharing =)
