I Found Out Today

I found out today you had never been true You were with someone else when I was seeing you. You took my love, my heart, my trust And all it meant to you was lust. I found out today that you gave her a ring While talking with me about the same thing And pledged your vows and made her your wife And swore to stay with her the rest of your life. Was it just a race? Was it just a game? Did either of us matter or were we just the same? Did you really care which one of us said yes first? Here I thought when you left me you had done your worst. I found out today the ink was not yet dry On the decree from your previous lie. I was just one of many, a face in your crowd Being duped by you does not make me proud. I found out today I will get over you I will hold my head high, I will get through You have made me a skeptic, you have opened my eyes I will not so easily fall for men's lies. One day if I chance to see you on the street If our paths should cross, if our eyes should meet I'll forget the deceptions, the lies you would say I'll remember the truth that I found out today.
