Inspired by the ending of a relationship the "true colors" of that relationship allowed me to be complete.
I finally got to see You weren't in love with me At least not anymore When I walked for the door Your heart already tied With his and so you lied As I fell from former glory You "consoled" me with your story Couldn't see then, now I know How easily you let go You said one thing, did another Not the actions of a lover And though I am quite clever Didn't put all that together Responsible for mis-formation Of your true communication I stood hard and fought for you For the things you said you'd do Did whatever I could see To stand for your family Took a while to unfold For your true story to be told Said you'd be the best parent you can Yet you're a child not a man Put yourself before your son How an earth can that be done? If that were me I couldn't rest And yet I guess you've done your best I've been angry now too long And even though you don't belong Faithfully supporting you I bought your lies and followed through Your true colors have shone bright Revealing you in shameless light And I know I couldn't be With Mr No Integrity Don't say this to make you wrong Since I've known you now quite long And the way your life has tracked Quite oblivious to the impact I feel only true compassion For you to live in such a fashion The constant need to duck and dive And live in such a web of lies For all the time we've known I forgive and I have grown And now I live completely free You have no power over me
