Cleanse

You have the face of an angel
that is why I believe all those lies
easier to believe my own truth
than have to consider telling you goodbye
you know how to get to me
blur what should be clear
make me think that losing you, us
should be my biggest fear
And I am willing to believe
I think I love you that much
your presence is intoxicating
I get paralyzed by your touch
so I tell myself things
things I should not believe
but we all know the truth
you are at your best when you plot and deceive
you ran your game
I hope you had fun
because my heart may not know it yet
but you and I done
you taught me a lot
to get over you will take some time
been dragged through the dirt
need to wash away the grime
But I will get clean
I will start over new
find someone who loves me
something that is way overdue
