Prince Charming

So I suppose you didn't think I would care when you left me on the side of the road You said I was different, you said not the same But you simpley laughed as you through me away At the moment I read those words I knew that I was through with you You didn't think I would be the one to walk away But what you didn't see is i had another stashed away Wrong move, I know, but I saw this coming Now I can only wonder if you think of me when you look at her What you did was wrong in so many ways But now I know I'm stronger than you, now I know you're weak I see you in a couple of years burning your last bridge And your last breathe would be so sweet for you and for me It'll be like whiskey in my veins But the whiskey would be bitter sweet, like the tears I never shed The cries inside tell me I knew better than to get involved with such a mistake Although my deeds were done cheap, at what cost did it come for those other than me? My conscience lay bare on the floor weeping in pain Deadened hearts of mine unite and now I see what you really are Just a scared little child in a messed up world Oh, I know i can't save you, so don't turn to me as a savior, I'll never take your hand I'll never take your pain away, I'm not your Prince Charming

Like the way Prince Charming comes of age, growing wiser in this write. The prince deserves a princess with a kinder, truer heart. Very nice, Charles! Love, Carolyn
