Addiction

You should have been honest with me from the start you would have still gotten what you wanted; 

You didn't need to tell me that I'm pretty when you dislike the color of my eyes,
You didn't have to pretend to like the sound of my voice just to fill my ears with lies,

You should have been honest with me from the start you would have still gotten what you wanted;
 
No need to tell me that you like me when it's she that you love she's is in your heart but I'm sent from above? 

You should have been honest with me from the start you would have still gotten what you wanted
 
No need to trick me into trusting you just so you could stab me in the back my love for you is much stronger than that in my life you've made such an impact

You should have been honest with me from the start you would have still gotten what you wanted; 

It wasn't a waste of time to tell you my hopes my dreams and what I  feared all while you mastered the art of pretending as if you cared

You should have been honest with me from the start you would have still gotten what you wanted.

Very powerful use of repetition. Sadly there are many such men in the world. These men satisfy their appetite but are not in need of true intimacy.
