"Maybe I could be you for a while With all of your falsified promises and artificial smiles. Then I could break your heart in two as you’ve done to me Maybe then I would turn your eyes so you could finally see. See what you’ve done, see how you tear me apart, See that it’s time to become an adult when dealing in matters of the heart. All the lies I’ve been told “just for my own good” Do you see how it backfires when you commit the sins you never should? A love now ruined, a girl so much more than alone, Seems the former king of broken hearts can now relinquish his throne. Just to be you for a day, in the heartbreakers shoes, To be you for a day, and deliver constant and steady bad news. So now I ask you from the depths of my empty soul, Was it worth it? Are you happy now? Do you finally feel whole? Feels so good to tear others down, you once angrily told me I guess I was amongst a long line of your victims and not the last from what I see. You’ve played with the most dangerous of fires and you will be burned in the end, You get what you give and you’re not exempt, you too will receive what you send. For now I’m just another woman scorned, another empty shell of a loveless girl, I’m moving on this time, so when you miss me I won’t be around to take for another whirl. Reflecting on all the smiles we’ve shared, they no longer outweigh the pain, In fact, realizing that I can’t have those good times back is driving me slowly insane. Tell me, can I be you for a while? Where your own happiness is your only concern, Your own little world where you live day after day, but not once do you learn. I’m surpassing the anger now and I guess moving into regret, If you thought you missed me right now, you haven’t seen anything yet." -Lauren Simpson 12-13-03 |
