Just To Catch You Up

Just to catch you up
On someone you once knew,
That guy made you believe
The problem was all you.

He knew that while on eggshells
You would tread gingerly.
You'd be forced to read into
Nonsense you couldn't see.

For love had left you blinded,
Thinking 'twas what you'd done,
And so he played the martyr,
That's how the table spun.

That guy, he wised up late,
Looks out now at how far
Sickness, pride and ego
Can drive two hearts apart.
