Real You
Tears are weakness
 So why do I lay here weeping?
 I was meant to be alone
 To lock my heart for safe-keeping
 But then you came along
 And my heart started leaping
 Sick of me, you cast me aside
 Letting the reaper do his reaping
 You've no regret, no guilt
 As you meet me with a steady gaze
 You had me wrapped around your finger
 To act in a wondrous blissful craze
 Done with me, you cast me aside
 Lost in such a dark and confusing maze
 You felt not an ounce of my sorrow
 As you set my whole world ablaze
 You left me, bloodied and battered
 Alone, in a mood so dangerously low
 I should have known better
 That I would be the one to take the blow
 I strayed from my path to you
 Now my mistake is taking its toll
 Disguised and masked, you tricked me
 Never again will I revel in your false glow
 But I know who you really are
 You're bitter and you're cruel
 I won't fall for it again
 I'm done being the fool
 The tears keep falling
 Trying so hard to keep my cool
 I'm ready for the end of this
 This game with no rules
