Blood and Sardines

I was addicted to you from the very beginning They say people can be drugs, But i didn’t understand what they meant Until you came into my life. The sun shined brighter, The days were longer, The bids sung louder, Everything seemed like a fairytale- Fake. The first time you let me down, I stayed away without a second thought, Without an ounce of hesitation, For months. I don’t know how i did it. I wish i knew how i did it. But i came back. Everything about you had me in a trance You had me wrapped around your finger. You said go, And i went. They told me to stop while i’m ahead, While i still have my head, But did i listen? Of course not. I thought you were the love of my life, That our love was going to be the love of the century. Why would i stay away? And then it started coming back to me, And then i started to realize What you were doing. But i still stayed. I stayed, And it hurt me so bad When you left. You left, And the illusion, The fairytale, Was broken. I saw through the cracks I saw what was really going on I saw what you wanted from me I know that you see how badly i’m hurting.
