Tell me what I want to hear
Don't worry dear, don't be sincere
Don't fret, don't fear, I won't tear
Your memory in my mind, I'll clear
You were my only, my number one
But I fear some damage can't be undone
We were only a game, which you won
I just have to accept that it's been done
I thought you were different, even grand
But you were a pilgrim, my heart was land
Parades of flavor, yet all is left tasting bland
Worse became worst when you dropped my hand
I might have been a queen, but you were an ace
All the memories you gave will be hard to replace
Everything fell apart at far too fast a pace
I didn't realize that I was someone you could erase
Since when did honesty take a back seat
To selfishness, guess you didn't need me to be complete
Making you happy always seemed an impossible feat
It's clear now that, without me, you can still breathe
I still can't believe that you'd want to leave
Used to cause smiles, but now you've forced me to grieve
The lost parts of myself I fear I'll never retrieve
Why was I whom you chose to deceive?
