He said he wasn't like the rest and I was crazy enough to believe.
He built up my hopes just to shoot them down, why was I so naive?
I was caught in his web of deceit, a web spun only to bring me pain.
I contemplate what went wrong as the tears fall like rain.
I'm angry at him but right now I hate myself for being so wrong.
If only I could've handled my loneliness, I should've tried to be strong.
But I wasn't strong, I was weak like all the times before.
Each time promising myself to love no more.
But it was too hard for me to do I just wanted someone to love me.
Someone who could step from dreams and become a reality.
A man not afraid to love me just the way I am.
I think he was afraid to love, to take my hand.
He told me he loved another but how could he fall so quick?
It hurts how he lied to me, promised me he'd be there through thin and thick.
Will I always be so fast to feed on foolish lies?
Or forever fall for those who only make me cry?
Maybe I'm just being cynical because I've been hurt so many times.
I've fell for those who couldn't love, became a victim of their crimes.
I should've seen him for what he really was and I shouldn't have tried to make him something he was not.
I cared a lot about him or so I thought.
