Something Slight.

i know you like i know the next step im going to take.

always right over whats left,

the extremes of this that i must accept.

it seemed as though the love we shared was at its peak...

until soon enough, it was realized that 

talk was cheap and game was weak.

and you must think im crazy for calling it love, 

but the signs were all there for me from the gods and heavens above.

you were the one to make me the happiest and to hurt me the most.

but i never thought that you would ever hurt me,

i never thought that you would ever deceive me,

i never thought you would be the one to leave me.

but things are never what they seem 

and what you say is not always what you mean.
