Clueless

Clueless She hangs up the phone. Turns to her friend with a smile. She says "I just love him so much. I haven't felt this way in a while. Better still, he loves me too. This is just too good to be true." Oh, but honey, what you don't know would have saved you this heartache a while ago. You're not the only one hiding in his bed. You're not the only one hanging out in his head. You're not the only one he lied to with the myriad things he said. You fell behind. You never got ahead. It's a sad story instead, He looks at her with that fire in his eyes. She's clueless that she was the source of his lies. Ready or not. soon to be the one who forgot. Colder than ice then scorching hot. Oh honey, what you don't know would have hurt you worse a while ago. You're not the only one hiding in his bed. You're not the only one hanging out in his head. You're not the only one he lied to with the myriad things he said. You fell behind. You never got ahead. It's a sad story instead. Well what did you expect? Something wonderful? Something perfect? It doesn't work that way here. Nothing is ever clear. Nothing is ever as it claims to be. That's the prize of mortality. Don't go too far Don't get too close. You're not the only one hiding in his bed. You're not the only one hanging out in his head. You're not the only one he lied to with the myriad things he said. You fell behind. You never got ahead. It's a sad story instead, It's a sad story. Two unsuspecting women in all their disposing glory. You'll be the only one hiding away in his bed. You'll be wishing you hadn't believed a word he said. You'll be tormented with the truth that you're not the only one hanging out in his head. You'll long to get ahead. You'll be every woman's sad story instead. It truly is a sad story. Yet, you're the only unsuspecting woman in all her disposing glory.
