Its My Fault

I was there for you through 
thick and thin 
Opened my arms up 
to welcome you in 
As if I could feel when 
you was down and out
Dropped everything for 
you without a doubt

Then to be played by you 
without any thought
When you led me to believe
 it was love you sought
As time went by yes it's 
my fault I fell for you
Strung myself along thinking 
that you was true

But you see boy this right 
here is high class
Not down in the sewers 
like your Donatello ass
Let me stop see everyone 
knows that I'm not mean
The same woman I've always 
told you i've been

In life we all have a 
certain responsibility 
Didn't think you playing me 
was a possibility 
As time went by yes it was 
my fault I fell for you 
Strung myself along thinking 
that you was true 

I'm the only one who 
should be feeling shame
When it was all done and 
said I have myself to blame
In the future I hope someone 
hears when your soul cries
Like I did so long ago not 
realizing it was only lies 

Cruelest thing you did is 
awaken my love inside
When your intention of 
loving me was denied
To you I was a chapter and 
to me you was a book
Guess you was never mine 
still my heart you took

Shattered and broken is the 
loudest quiet sound
I promise you'll look for me
in others but never be found
I was never one of those 
damn demons you fight
You didn't look inside of me 
to see gods divine light

Yes as time went by it was
my fault I fell for you 
And it was I who strung 
myself along thinking you true
Still pieces of my heart broken
has love for you so pure
Softly I cry wondering how 
much more pain I can endure

It’s sad when people we care for betray us. This is well expressed, so sorry you are dealing with this. Hugs Rick.
