Clear

Lips sewn shut tightly
No more lies will reach my ears
I won't trust you again
I promise you

I gave you what I could
It wasn't enough
You wanted someone better
You settled for the wrong one

I won't be coming back
You said you didn't want me thinking that way
That you're sorry for my mindset
If it hadn't been you, it would have been someone else

I guess I will never understand why
And it frustrates me to my core
You can apologize all you want
But your choice was always clear

You played your part so perfectly
I'm ashamed to say that you tricked me
Now I know to never love you again
Because you saw no wrong in what you had done

I should have known from the start that you would hurt me
I wanted to believe that you were different
That you were better for me than anyone
Now you're just fading

Everything is stained with your memories
Then maybe you would see
If I burned my whole world down
It would be like you never existed

You tried to make me see what you wanted
But your intent was easily visible as you spoke
Line after line sputtered from your mouth
The truth always stung more than the lie
