Caught Myself

I should have caught myself before I ran away Letting you guide my actions with your love and lust ...allowing myself to be dragged down to you You played your games, spun your lies, left your mark And those scars will eventually heal BUT serve as reminders that lies are pretty till caught I should have stopped myself the first time our eyes met and I put up my walls I should have screamed and stayed focused instead of letting that need consume me I knew you weren't what I wanted but I felt wanted in your arms Though I knew in my heart it wasn't you... I craved love I should have caught myself spinning my own set of self-indulgent lies They didn't hurt you but they killed my hope Next time I will catch my heart from leading me into these games And realize that being alone in the light Is much better than bedding with lies at night
