You Just Lost Me

I was a different girl, this was the same sad story;
They all tried to warn me, and baby, I'm so sorry...
Sorry I didn't listen when they told me to run,
Because now all I'm doing is coming undone.

You knew all the right things to say,
Knew just what you were doing to me;
You made me fall in love from the very first day,
You were playing games, and I was too blinded to see.

I guess I should give you some credit;
Head games seem to be your specialty.
As jaded as I am, I didn't see it --
I didn't see that you were just toying with me.

You're charming and you're devious;
You even managed to sucker me into believing in "us".
Congratulations, honey, you win the prize;
You managed to hurt me -- to cut me down to size.

You've done your damage -- got your entertainment, too;
I didn't see you coming, but baby, now I'm immune to you.
I hope it's worth it in the end, please just leave me be;
I hope you're happy, honey, because you just lost me.

You were playing sick, twisted games from the start;
Congratulations, baby, you managed to break my heart.
Don't go wasting your time on me; I'm not worth the trouble...
I'm done playing by your rules -- sorry to burst your bubble.

Eighteen couldn't save me -- seems you have no empathy;
Twenty-nine didn't stop you -- guess I'm not worth the sympathy.
With you, there's no happy ending --
There's no playing nice, because you were just pretending.

I was a different girl, this was the same sad story;
They all tried to warn me, and baby, I'm so sorry...
Sorry I didn't listen when they told me to run,
Because now all I'm doing is coming undone.
