you took me in and used me up
and left an empty shell
it wasn't that you loved me
or that you loved me too well
but not at all. no matter what
you said. o bitch from hell
you took me for an idiot. a part i played with passion.
you tempted me with sex but never gave the slightest ration
and as for me i fell for you completely, in my fashion
but i am not completely stupid
you are not so bad
your grip on me relaxed as soon as you could see how sad
and utterly despairing i became once i'd been had
and so we part. no smile and no flowers and no tears.
and no regrets. i needed you to teach me how the years
only serve to pass and kill us with our own almighty fears
