Extraordinary

I was a simple girl

No more, no less

Then you swept me away in a whirl

Of lies and broken trusts

I was so naive

I believed everything you said

Like when you said I was extraordinary

I let it go to my head

I was sure you were the one

After all, you told me I was pretty

What I didn't know

Was about all the other girls you made giddy

You were a player

Who was playing a game

And I was a girl

Who became a damsel from a dame

The princess I had abhorred

Cinderella, the dependent freak

I'd turned into her

Waiting for someone to sweep me off my feet

At least she got Prince Charming

All I got was you

She got a one in a million

All I got was bitter truth

You thought you were so careful

Hiding behind all your facades

But the girls and the lies piled up

And even I could tell you were a fraud

Don't mistake me for jealous

That's far from the truth

I'm just becoming bitter

A skill I picked up after you

You made me a cynic

After you made me a fool

So I made you look a joke

Before I made you look a tool

Maybe you won't forgive me

But guess what Darling?

The feeling is mutual

Mess with me again and hell is what I'll bring

'Cause I may not be extraordinary

But I sure as hell ain't ordinary either

And if you can't see how much I'm worth

Then you better stop running the meter

'Cause I'm not coming back

Not for all the love in the world

You may have fooled me once

But shame on me if I'm that girl

I won't get drawn back in

Your cause is lost on me

Because we both know the truth

That neither you nor I are extraordinary
